What is presence?

Why do some people have presence and others don't?

The only time in which you can impact anyone is the present. 

People who have presence don’t worry about the past where they can’t do anything about anything. They don’t worry about the future (where they can’t do anything either). They think about and live in the tiny sliver of the here and now called the present where the rest of us live. 

Presence isn’t about the confidence to take risks.

In fact, sometimes people with presence feel vulnerable because they don’t have the protection of hiding in their thoughts about the past or future. Being in the moment means living without any shields. But without those barriers, it’s easier to connect with other people. 

If you are willing to be present and vulnerable and connect with others, it sends a message that you value them.
