Life is a Presentation A stage. A power point set up. A large audience. A speaker with a microphone. These are common images of a "presentation." But don't you present yourself every day? You are constantly sending subtle or obvious messages through your body language, facial expressions, the sounds you make, and the energy you emit. Often these messages are more powerful than any words you might say. Your grace in social/ business situations allows others to conclude that you have "executive presence." When you view each day as an opportunity to make several presentations, and if you give yourself gentle and honest critique, you will be able to approach any "stage and micro- phone" situation with eagerness and confidence.
