“Presence is the energy you embody. We are energetic beings, and we all embody a presence.” How powerful is your presence? I received a question from a listener recently asking me about the meaning of the name of the podcast. Specifically, what is Power Presence?  I decided to address his question in this episode. To do this I start by defining what I consider presence to be and sharing two examples of the impact of your presence as a leader. I then explain how to access your own Power Presence.

[...] They had capacity to act and influence based on their title, but I think all of us have the capacity to act and influence regardless of our title.” “I would define power presence as the ability to show up in an intentional, grounded, credible, connected, and interpersonally impactful manner wherever you are.” “Power presence is accessed by making an internal shift from reacting to our emotions and thoughts and the ego part of ourselves, to actually observing and intentionally choosing our thoughts and responses to what is needed in the moment.” Connect with Janet Ioli: Website: janetioli.com Linkedin: Janet Ioli Instagram: @janetioli Janet is the founder of Power Presence Academy.
