Presence stems from believing in and trusting yourself—your real, honest feelings, values, and abilities. That’s important, because if you don’t trust yourself, how can others trust you? Whether we are talking in front of two people or five thousand, interviewing for a job, negotiating for a raise, or pitching a business idea to potential investors, speaking up for ourselves or speaking up for someone else, we all face daunting moments that must be met with poise if we want to feel good about ourselves and make progress in our lives. Presence gives us the power to rise to these moments.”
Amy Cuddy is best known for having delivered the 2nd most-watched TED talk in history. The talk is titled, “Your Body Shapes Who You Are“—definitely worth watching if you haven’t already done so. Cuddy wrote this book to help people of all walks of life develop a strong sense of *presence*—a quality that helps us:
- Command respect and inspire others
- Speak with poise and clarity
- Become genuinely like able to others
- Develop an inner sense of confidence that helps us feel good about ourselves and make progress in our lives
We’ll talk more about how presence helps us lean into the aforementioned qualities, along with much, much more in the big ideas we’ll be sharing in this book summary.
