For this episode, David talks about leading with SPIRIT, a way of ensuring that you are preparing yourself to lead effectively and sustainably. The S in spirit stands for self-leadership, which David has covered in the last few CALM episodes. This time he talks about the P – Presence, how you show up and the energy that you bring and making sure that you are focusing and being present.

David shares several exercises and techniques you can use to do this.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Those who are present have far more impact and a stronger presence.
• The consequences of not being present are massive. 
• When you are present, you tune into how you are feeling, which guides you and points you in the right direction.
• If you are not fully present in your interactions with others, you miss the cues and opportunities.
• To have a strong relationship with people you need to connect with them, which requires you to be present.
• Don´t spend too much time in the past or looking to the future.
• You can learn how to be present.
• Focus on what you can see, smell, and feel. Learn how to engage all of your senses.
• If you´re not present in the moment, then you can´t expect others to be present and focus.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you are not present, what´s the impact on your ability to produce?’

‘Managing your state to be a better leader doesn´t mean disconnecting totally.’

‘Focus on your breath.’

‘Do one thing at a time.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
