Hey all, I just came across this eye-opening post from The Kind Leader that really hits home about leadership and presence. Did you know that 55% of how people perceive a leader comes from body language while the actual words we say only make up about 7%? That means before you even say a word, people have already formed judgments about whether they trust you, want to follow you, or think you belong in the room. I’ve seen smart, capable leaders lose opportunities just because they fidget or seem unsure and on the flip side, I’ve watched average presenters win big because they mastered how to look confident. The good news? These are skills you can learn and improve. Simple things like standing tall before a meeting, keeping your hands visible, making steady eye contact, and owning your space can completely change how people respond to you. Leadership isn’t just about what you say it’s about the presence you bring into the room. And presence is something you can build, practice, and own starting today. 💯 Credits to Eric Partaker, for the amazing graphic!! Would love to hear if you’ve noticed how body language has shaped your leadership or conversations.
