This week on the Building Championship Mindsets podcast, Dr. Selking discusses the importance of presence in achieving high performance. She defines presence as the state of existing, occurring, or being in a place or thing, both physically and mentally. Dr. Selking highlights the significance of physical presence, particularly for leaders, and the importance of being physically present with your team to understand their needs and build relationships. She explores how we can cultivate both physical and mental presence to bring out the best in ourselves and others.
