Key Points
  • It’s about learning to adapt and learning how you bring your best self forward for the situation at play.
  • Effective leadership presence does two things: (1) it makes an impression through the value it brings to the table and (2) it connects with its stakeholders.
  • A leader who has presence is able to both demonstrate their value in an authentic way that is unique to them while at the same time connect with their stakeholders.
  • Credibility and reliability are two things people look for in every leader.
  • When you walk into a meeting, think about what assumptions you are making, what communication strategies you are going to use, and what kind of energy you’re bringing.
