Summary

In this episode, I explain why presence is one of the greatest skills we can build — not just to lead, but to serve. Drawing on the wisdom of Think and Grow Rich, I share how our mindset and energy shape a room before we ever speak. I cover the simple practices that help us guide any environment: leading with intention, winning the first moments, asking meaningful questions, staying centered through breath, and communicating with clarity. Most of all, I highlight that leadership isn’t about control — it’s about creating the right setting for others to succeed. When we show up with certainty, kindness, and alignment, we raise the room, and with it, the opportunities available to everyone.

1:56.7	frequency, is the tone separated by the spaces between the tones, the notes, is what creates
2:02.8	the music. Rooms don't respond to titles or accolades. They respond to energy. They respond to clarity.
