If you've ever coached with me, you've probably heard me say that presenting is the art of being present. When you're in front of your team or a client or a room full of strangers, being present means…

There are some cool things about being a sponge. You pick up on dynamics in the room – on the things that are happening beneath the surface, unsaid. If you’re not aware of what is happening, you can drown in other people’s emotions and energy.

When you are fully present in the room (or on Zoom), your audience is much more likely to stay present with you. The present moment is where you have the most power.
