Over the last few weeks, we’ve walked through three high-impact moves that help you own the room:
Move 1: how to rehearse for presence
Move 3: how to practice responsive presence.
Each move is designed for you to command the room with clarity and connection.
There’s one final move that makes them all sustainable:
Great communicators don’t wing it. They train for it.
Think about your favorite athlete, singer, or performer.
They didn’t “figure it out” on the fly.
They trained with coaches, reps, and feedback before they hit the field or stage.
And even at the top?
They still have coaches.
Not because they’re weak but because they’re serious.
Why This Matters
Anyone can share information.
Few can inspire the room.
Top communicators rehearse the emotional impact not just the words.
They practice the delivery.
They review the tape.
They ask for feedback and refine under pressure.
High performers don’t just show up to present.
They train for the moments that matter.
The moments that shift perception, move decisions, and build trust.
Presence isn’t a talent.
It’s a skill, well rehearsed, refined, and earned.
Bonus Move: Train Like a Pro
Here’s your move this week:
Choose one upcoming moment where you’ll need to show up and be seen.
Then train for it like a pro:
• Record yourself delivering the key message. Watch posture, tone, and energy.
• Mark performance cues. Use pauses, emphasis, and emotional shifts with intent.
• Invite a trusted peer or mentor to observe and give clear, targeted feedback.
Executive presence doesn’t just happen.
Train for the moment, and you’ll inspire the room.
