Have you ever noticed how some people change the atmosphere before they even speak?
In this episode, Dr. Sheila Cornea explores leadership presence as a spiritual fragrance: the unseen influence that both precedes and lingers after you. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 2:15, Galatians 5:25, and John 15, she reveals how intimacy with God cultivates the kind of presence that transforms environments and points people to Jesus.

This episode is for the woman who wants her leadership to be felt, not just heard.
