Description
We all know presence when we encounter it. Someone walks into a room and heads turn. When those with presence speak, people listen. When they ask, people answer. When they lead, people follow. They always look confident and comfortable, speak persuasively, think clearly even under pressure, and always exhibit actions of intention and integrity. They are in charge – of themselves and any situation.
But personal presence is not something everyone is born with. In Creating Personal Presence (Berrett-Koehler; October 2011; $15.95; ISBN 978-1-60994-011-9), award winning speaker and consultant Dianna Booher demystifies the observations that affect other people’s perceptions of potential, breaking down “personal presence” into four specific areas:
How You Look: Your body language, handshake, movement, dress, reaction to surroundings.
How You Talk: The words you choose, the physical qualities of your voice, how you use your voice.
How You Think and Communicate: How you organize ideas and information, what you decide to pass on or withhold, how you frame issues.
How You Act: The attitude, values and competence your actions reveal.
In this comprehensive coverage of self-assessment and skill development, Booher offers readers a pragmatic and achievable leadership training experience. With careful guidance on creating both external and internal character, Creating Personal Presence is an invitation to both discover and express the unique leader within us all.
