We live in a noisy world – and yet the loudest thing in any room isn’t always someone’s voice. It’s their presence.
You’ve felt it. That unmistakable calm when someone is fully with you – not rushing to fix, perform, or speak. Just being truly present.
It’s rare. And that’s what makes it powerful.
Here’s a thought exercise you can try:
Mini Self-Check – Presence in Practice:
- Body: What’s your posture saying in most of your interactions lately – open or guarded?
- Mind: Are you running an inner script when others speak, or genuinely tuned in?
- Energy: Are you in a rush to fill the silence, or comfortable holding space?
Each week, I offer more insights, exercises and tips to those on my list. If you would like to Subscribe to Thrive, click here.
Being Heard Without Saying Much:
So, you don’t have to say a lot to have impact. You just have to be there.
“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. Presence is how you guide others without speaking a word.”
– John Maxwell –
[New York Times Best-selling Author – he wrote many books, primarily focusing on leadership. Titles include ‘The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership’ and ‘The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader’.]
This week, I invite you to practise not just listening better more about being better at being present.
In conversations. In meetings. With loved ones. And maybe most importantly – with yourself.
Because presence is the true language of trust.
With warmest wishes,
