Creating Personal Presence: Look, Talk, Think, and Act Like a Leader
by Dianna Booher

“Personal presence”can help you get a date, a mate, a job, or a sale. It can help you lead a meeting, a movement, an organization, or a nation. Presence is hard to define, but we know it when we see it. Someone walks into a room and people step aside. Heads turn. Conversation opens up to include them. They’re in charge—of themselves and any situation.

Presence is not something you’re born with—anyone can learn these skills, habits, traits, and attributes. It’s not a question of status symbols or position. Personal presence involves genuine character and relationship know-how. It’s not who you are—it’s how you are, how you present yourself, how you act.

Learn how you can master the communication skills and attitudes that will enable you to become a compelling leader and to communicate with credibility and power.


Booher makes ‘presence’ actionable. This is my kind of book!
