A Fast-Track to Presence

I’ve got a few questions for you that I would like you to consider. These are questions that I would like you to do more than consider. I would love for you to answer these questions and answer them out loud, if only to yourself and see what you sound like as you answer these questions. So here are the questions: what do you love to do? What do you specialize in? Who do you like to help? What projects do you like to work on? When you’re working on these projects, what’s your favorite aspect of working on these things? If you start to answer these questions and answer them out loud, and you can feel yourself getting excited about this stuff, you are in the right vein. You’re in the right place. You’re in, like, a great, fantastic part of your brain that just naturally taps into your excitement and elevates your presence. I want to suggest that this is where you want to be whenever you interview to win a project. It’s also where you want to be whenever you’re looking to get hired by your next employer. I also want you to think about this when you are sitting down with someone you’re looking to hire, someone you’re looking to bring into the fold. Your excitement and your passion about what you are excellent at is an incredibly attractive thing. People want to work with other folks who understand what they’re good at and what they’re passionate about. It’s not just about qualifications although qualifications are extremely important. It’s about self- knowledge, self-awareness and authentic passion about stuff that you love to do. Give these questions a ponder give them an answer listen to what it sounds like for you bounce it off another human being and see what it sounds like for them and see if you can give yourself permission to access your presence as you communicate what is most important and most valuable to you.
