Path for Growth with Alex Judd

The Practice of Presence


Listen Later

Information isn’t the gap between failure and success—action is. Path for Growth’s 1-on-1 coaching helps you create a plan and execute on what matters most for your business. Apply today at pathforgrowth.com/coaching.


You are the product of the things you do every, single day. The topic of ‘presence’ is often undervalued in the life of a leader because we are so focused on planning. As a result, we can end up missing out on what is going on in the present. To be present as a leader is to express gratitude with your attention in a way that causes others feel compelled to do the same. 


  • What does it look like for you to express gratitude with your attention? (2:40)
  • How do we practice presence? (3:38)
  • Everything changes when you start to treat the moment like practice. Practice is a mindset (9:01)
  • Practice is not a destination (9:34)
  • Practice is not a linear process (10:03)
  • Practice is not a celebrated activity (10:54)
  • Practice is the on-going, never-ending, daily pursuit of a worthy value or virtue (12:35)
  • Number 1: Prepare for presence in the evening (14:06)
  • Number 2: Maximize the morning (15:47)
  • Number 3: Don’t look at your phone for the first hour of the day (20:06)
  • Number 4: Establish a rhythm of 10 minutes of closed-eye silence throughout the day (21:18)
  • Number 5: Make direct eye contact (25:14)
  • Number 6: Take your phone off the table (27:53)
  • Number 7: Schedule ‘deck time’ (30:55)
  • Number 8: Beware of frenzy (33:28)
  • Number 9: Do hard workouts (36:14)
  • Number 10: Write down what you’re grateful for (39:22)
  • What matters is not your perfection but your rate of recovery and your level of commitment (46:57)
