Some people make judgements based on the degree of authority the other person appears to have – they want to deal with someone who they feel is operating at their level.
If you have ever been told that you come across as ‘too junior’ or have felt patronised or ignored by someone you wanted to impress or persuade, it’s probably because you’re missing one magic ingredient – presence.
Equally, we can have too much of a good thing, and in certain situations it pays to keep our presence a little lower. So, if you find yourself taking over your colleague’s meeting, can’t stand to be out of the spotlight or have ever been called overbearing, you could be guilty of presence-overload.
