Everyone, regardless of position or personality, can strengthen their presence. The Power of Presence shows how.

When some people speak, everyone listens. When they need commitment to projects, others jump on board. They just seem to have that indescribable "presence"—a subtle magnetic field around them wherever they go that signals authority and authenticity and attracts disciples with ease. Wouldn't it be incredible if doors opened as effortlessly for you? How amazing would it be if you could command the room like they do? You don't have to wonder; you can make it happen!

Filled with strategies, exercises, and personal stories from years spent coaching leaders, communications expert Kristi Hedges explains how to:

  • Build relationships based on trust
  • Rid yourself of limiting behaviors
  • Embody the values you are trying to convey
  • Explore how others see you and correct misperceptions
  • Communicate in way that inspire
  • The key is to cultivate the communication aptitude, mental attitude, and unique leadership style needed to connect with and motivate others. Everyone recognizes a commanding presence when they see it, and soon they'll see it in you!

        According to executive coach Hedges, having a stronger presence, or charisma, can transform an average person into a leader who can create and communicate a vision for others. Hedges sets forth the I-Presence model (Intentional, Individual, and Inspirational) to help readers create a persuasive and powerful self. Through exercises, readers are taught to battle negativity by developing a pregame ritual, establish trust through being reliable and credible, and inspire others by focusing on solutions instead of problems. Hedges also shares suggestions for making presentations and leading meetings, for instance, to think from the listener's point view and to share only visions that are active and alive. Above all, she advises readers to pay attention, maintain a sense of humor, go easy on themselves, and look people in the eye. VERDICT Hedges's primary targets are junior executives or white-collar business owners who want to get ahead. For others, this basic advice has already been given in Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends and Influence People.--Deborah Bigelow, Leonia P.L., NJ
