The Essence of Leadership Presence
What does it really mean, and why is it important to you (and to others)?
Learning is not just about capacity, it is about awareness.
Truly profound levels of learning change who we are, and then how we change.
Suspend judgment for a deeper level of awareness, listen from nothing.Clarity happens when you can do this. In this opening things happen.
There is no meaningful conversation without people opening their minds. This is why meaningful conversation is so rare these days.
There is only one force; intention.
Question: How do we move beyond our normal ways of seeing things?
How the human paradigm works:
‘Observation’ leads to
‘Interpretation’leads to
‘Reality’leads to
‘A Story’
Three Levels of awareness:
1. How you see yourself2. How others see you3. The space in between …..the truth
What’s next?
Group Dialogue
What is your intention moving forward?
What is your plan to have impact?
What will now be required of you and where will you need to show up differently?
What is your commitment
moving forward?
Quotes that have had an impact on me…..

“Follow me…..I am right behind
you.”
- John Maxwell
“Great spirits have always found
violent opposition from mediocre
minds”
- Albert Einstein
“You are the way you are, because
that’s the way you’ve made up
your mind to be.”
- John C. Maxwell

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the
round pegs in the square holes…the ones who see things differently– they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them,
disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is
ignore them because they change things…they push the human race
forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius,
because the ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are
the ones who do.
- Steve Jobs
