Noteworthy Quotes from This Episode
“ I’ve coached hundreds of leaders and I’ve seen brilliant, talented executives lose influence. Not because they lack skill—and they definitely didn’t lack intelligence, but because they unintentionally eroded their presence with small careless behaviors.”
“ If you’re constantly rescheduling meetings, it sends the message that your time is more valuable and more important than theirs. If you’re a leader, people may never call you out on it. But they will resent it over time.”
“ If you’re looking at your phone while someone is speaking, you’re signaling this: you’re not worthy of my full attention.”
“Just showing up on time, giving your full attention, being more thoughtful and intentional in communication, will make you notice that people will respond to you differently. There will be more trust, there will be more engagement, and there will be more respect.”
“Leadership isn’t just about skills and competencies and intelligence. It’s about presence and your presence is shaped by these intangibles, the small things that either build trust or break it.”
