The Power of Presence: Why Appearance Matters!

Have you ever considered how your appearance impacts how others perceive you?

Do you carefully choose your outfit each day, ensuring a polished look? Or do you grab whatever is nearby, hoping it's clean and presentable?

First impressions are powerful — our presence speaks before we even say a word.

Let me introduce you to Bob. I met him at a conference where he was a speaker, and from the moment he stepped on stage, he commanded attention — not just with his words but with his entire presence.

During a break at the conference, I approached him to share my appreciation. His confident posture, impeccably tailored clothing, and harmonious color choices reflected care and intention. As a coach specializing in on-camera presence and professionalism, I couldn’t help but admire how he exemplified these principles.

Here’s what stood out about Bob:

• A neat, well-styled haircut
• A bright sports jacket paired with a well-matched tie and slacks
• Perfectly tailored sleeves and pants
• Polished shoes that coordinated seamlessly with his outfit
• A posture that radiated confidence

Bob showed up with intention. Do we exude the same polished confidence when we step on stage, go live on camera, or enter a room?

Our presence reflects the excellence we carry within. Are you showing up as your best self? I know I strive to, how about you?
