THE 5 P PLAYBOOK
PRESENCE
WHAT IS PRESENCE?
POISE UNDER PRESSURE.
Presence is poise and confidence, the natural result of the other four practices working together. It's how you carry yourself when it counts: composed, prepared, and fully there. It's being comfortable in your own skin and not trying to be someone else, because you know you're doing the right things. It includes a firm handshake, combed hair, speaking clearly, good posture, arriving early, making conversation, and sending thank-you notes. It's also being respected by others. Presence is the total package.
