In our communication, there are three 'elements' used to express a
message: verbal content, body language, and the voice. When these
elements are not congruent, we often will believe the body language and
the voice. For this reason, non-verbal elements are particularly
important for communicating feelings and attitudes and in engaging
others; in any type of leadership role these aspects are vital in order
to be an effective leader.
Leading with Presence provides a practical guide as to how and why
Presence in everyday interaction is a vital component of impactful
leadership. This book explores and teaches about non-verbal
communication such as posture, gestures, and the voice to create more
awareness and understanding of the signals sent, and explains how to be
present and 'in the moment, ' how to connect with others, to 'read the
room, ' to motivate and inspire, to instill trust, to exude confidence
and thus strengthen your leadership.
Through theory, practical tools and exercises, this book is essential
reading for all business professionals in understanding the science
behind body language, and exploring, practicing and understanding
Leadership Presence.
