Is presence, and being present one and the same thing?   In this episode I explore the curious concept of presence and being present from an introvert's perspective. I am choosing to explore this from the lens of negotiation.   Through introspection and reflection on personal significance, impact on personal brand, and internal conflicts, I take you towards a deeper understanding of the distinction between Presence and Being Present. And to complement that, I share some tips on how you apply and manage both authentically, and when. See, we are negotiating!   How do we navigate stepping out of and beyond our comfort zone in a world driven by the bias towards the extravert ideal. It is our intentional and well thought actions that truly help us being present in alignment with who we are, and why we are present.    Key Points Balancing Presence with Being Present. Recognising and combating bias against the introverts. Being intentionally present and active, authentically.   Resources   Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.
