Have presence

Be taller, wiser and more interesting in an instant.

Some people walk into a room and command attention. They draw others to them, make even the loudest mouth go silent and always know exactly the right thing to say.

These people have presence. When we meet them it’s tempting to let them shine while we fade into the background, fiddling with our pen. That’s when we find ourselves meekly agreeing to something we promised we wouldn’t.

When it comes to having presence, if you can’t beat them, join them. This Live action is your chance to do just that.

Example scenarios

You’ve been asked to take over as team lead and are now in charge of a peer who thinks they should have been given the role. How do you immediately build credibility so they don’t take over?

It’s your first week at a new job and you need to introduce yourself to the CEO. They don’t seem interested at all. How can you build your presence to make a great impression?

While reviewing another team’s processes you noticed they are not strictly above board. Someone needs to speak to the manager to explain the importance of following proper procedures. As your boss is away, it’s down to you to have the conversation.
