You want to command a room, not by being the loudest, but by owning your presence. It starts with grounding yourself - feet firmly planted like you're on train tracks, body squared, posture strong. When you do this, you exude confidence, authority, and clarity. People listen, not just to what you say but how you carry yourself.
Your voice follows suit. A steady stance creates a steady breath, which creates a steady voice. Ever noticed how some people speak and everyone pays attention? It’s not just their words; it's their presence. A CEO who stands like a lighthouse in a storm commands respect, while someone fidgeting and uncertain loses the room.
Your energy matters. Confidence isn’t just in your words - it’s in how much space you take up. Step into a meeting and own your spot at the table. Speak with certainty. Cut the filler words. Let silence work for you instead of nervously filling the gaps.
And presence isn’t just for boardrooms. It’s in how you lead, how you engage with your team, and how you show up in every conversation. You are worthy of space - so take it.
We cover four ways to harness strong presence:
- Grounded Energy: Stability & Strength
- Expansive Energy: Commanding Space
- Focused Energy: Intentional and Present
- Assertive Energy: Speaking with Impact
Presence is power. Will you step into yours?
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to bet on yourself, this is it. Stop hesitating. Start leading. Fill out this Career Confidence Quiz today.
