How to Command a Room: The Science of Presence & Persuasion


Listen Later

Have you ever walked into a room and felt everyone’s energy shift? The air changes. People sit up straighter. Heads turn.

That’s not luck. That’s not charisma you’re born with.
That’s presence and it’s 100% learnable.

Every week, my clients ask me, “Elyse, what do I do when the nerves hit before an interview or presentation?”
Their voice shakes, their heart races, their mind goes blank and they end up shrinking in moments that are supposed to define them.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it actually means to command a room and how the world’s most magnetic women (think Beyoncé, Oprah, Michelle Obama) use intention, energy, and science-backed strategies to turn nerves into authority.

If you’ve ever wished you could walk into any room and have people feel your presence before you even speak - this episode is your guide.

Hit play to learn:

⚡Why presence matters more than perfection

⚡What science reveals about the body-confidence connection

⚡How small shifts in energy can change how every room receives you

Because presence isn’t about doing more - it’s about being more intentional.
