Authentic Presence

We all want to show up at our best when we’re presenting or giving a speech. And we all want to feel comfortable and authentic when we’re communicating with others.  Sometimes it’s hard to know how these can coexist. How can I be my dinosaur-with-lipstick self when I’m in my suit and tie? Ignite CSP coaches you to be yourself, while focusing on exactly how to get your message to land on your audience.

Personal Presence

In show business it’s called stage presence. Sometimes it’s called star power or charisma. In other business environments, the term of choice is executive presence. We all know it when we see it: it’s that “wow” factor that certain people just seem to have.  If  you don’t think that’s you, don’t give up! Anyone can show up with authentic presence and feel good about how they come across to an audience. It just takes some practice.

How can I develop my own presence?

Some of the methods we use include:

  • Videoing–nothing helps you improve like seeing yourself on camera!
  • Vocal coaching–how does your voice support your presence?
  • Breathing techniques–sounds obvious, but it’s so important
  • Using the power of nonverbal communication
  • Establishing your personal values and brand–who are you and what are you about?
  • Storytelling–stories work better than data to communicate your presence

Our Developing Authentic Presence coaching works best one-on-one. We can do it in-person or through online coaching. Contact us to discuss how this coaching may work best for you.

Does this sound like you?

“I love my job, but I want to connect more with my colleagues when I’m leading a meeting.”

“I hate giving presentations so much I do anything I can to avoid them.”

“I feel like I’m a good speaker, but I want to keep working to get even better.”

“Sometimes I’m intimidated by my clients.”
