Presence Power and the Moment

[Music] your entire business career plays out in a moment okay not one moment but a series of moments life is like built a brick at a time just like a great big structure would be and those bricks our moments if you think about it the future isn’t here yet so it doesn’t really exist the past did exist but it doesn’t anymore the only thing that exists in the moment and the way you play in that moment has a big impact on your success so I’m talking about presence I’m talking about your presence the way you come across your confidence your warmth and how you argue your case how you make the case for what impact you’re trying to enact in the world this is moments we do plan for future moments and we do process past moments that’s fine but this year can be a great year for you and if it is a great year it’s going to be great because of what you bring to each of those moments so H how do we Define a great year anyway great year is a year that there’s either some huge progress windfall or forward movement or nothing bad happens now seriously what are the odds that either of those two criteria are going to make a great year for you either some Earth shattering change launches and propels you forward you know could happen oh nothing goes wrong it could happen too but but for most people those two base criteria of a great year don’t actually play out because every year has things that go wrong and Earth shattering change just doesn’t happen very easily now as you work towards those things avoiding all risks and making astronomically positive progress want you to think about the power of a moment it’s easy to have a good moment it’s easy to bring your best you just have to focus on smaller chunks of time and you can have a great moment with a client you can have a great moment in a presentation you can have a great moment as you lead presence and good communication fits into moments and by building many good moments you make a great day and you can build many Great Moments into a great week or a month and that’s how you get to a really good year so I want you to process are you focusing in that smaller package the building blocks of your career life and your life life are moments and your presence and your ability to bring confidence warmth and a clear message that’s how you build a great moment so focus on those things and look at the power of a moment and see if you can make a great day and turn that into a great week and so on and so forth the power is in the moment
