Send us a text

Have you ever watched a woman leader walk into a room and instantly command attention—without saying a single word? That magnetic quality isn't magic or luck—it's presence, and it can be learned.

In today’s episode, I reveal how your physical presence communicates your power, authority, and confidence—sometimes much louder than your words ever could. Discover why even the most carefully crafted personal brand can be undermined in the first seven seconds of walking into a room and how to ensure your nonverbal communication aligns with your leadership identity.

What You'll Learn

• Why your body language can undermine your leadership brand in just seven seconds
• The neurobiological basis of presence and the "double bind" women leaders face
• Five common "presence leaks" that diminish your authority (and how to fix them)
• The S.T.A.R. framework for conducting a quick presence audit before important interactions
• Five actionable techniques to immediately enhance your leadership presence

Your Call to Action: 

Conduct a daily S.T.A.R. presence audit for a week and implement at least one of the five techniques we discussed in this episode. Notice how small changes in your physical presence impact your leadership effectiveness and others' responses to you.
