Presence

MOR Associates suggests a framework for enhancing our Virtual Presence. The 5As: Aware – Appear – Active – Articulate – Authentic.

I offer strategies to help make your leadership voice heard in the virtual workplace and build a more inclusive culture. 

Own your experience and expertise.  Know that you don’t talk, write, and think like other people.  A good leader needs to be a good storyteller.

Stress can come from change and begins with how you respond. Find the amount of stress that maximizes performance without impacting your health.

Always be prepared, carefully plan, express gratitude, be realistic, discover triggers, and ask for help are ways to become a more patient leader.

Life sends us messages, and we must pay attention to those clues if we want to follow our dreams and finding purpose and connection.

Today we hear from three MOR alums - Evelyn Griffith, Julie Traxler, and Vania McBean on valuing the gifts of others.

From time to time, as leaders we have to stop and press the pause button.  Gratitude helps us feel good because it inspires us to do good.
