Reflecting on the power of presence

9/18/2020

​Colleagues, 

​Encouraging you to “be present” could come off as being trite. On a surface level, it is such an obvious thing. However, I hope that some of this week’s messages have helped you think about presence as something more complex – and more powerful – that just being there.
 
Leaders who are beginning their work on developing powerful presence may experience a few challenges:
  • Presence interferes with completing urgent tasks.
  • Presence can be emotionally draining.
 
At the same time, they may also accrue these benefits:
  • Increased calm
  • A sense of accomplishment
  • Increased optimism
  • Greater connection to others
 
Presence really is something that needs to be practiced. It is like breathing. We do it continuously, but we don’t breathe well until we focus on it.
 
Reflect on your week of being present:
  1. What was the best thing that resulted from your presence?
  2. What made it easier to be fully present, and what made it more challenging?
  3. What didn’t get done because you spent more time being present?
  4. What seeds were planted?
 
Have a great weekend!
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
