An Introduction to The PRES Model of Leadership Presence

Our model for Leadership Presence, the PRES model, is broken down into four elements. Each element represents both a state of mind and a way of behaving:

 P 

 stands for Being Present, the ability to be completely in the moment, and flexible enough to handle the unexpected.

 R

 stands for Reaching Out, the ability to build relationships with others through empathy, listening and authentic connection.

 E

 stands for Expressiveness, the ability to express feelings and emotions appropriately by using all available means– words, voice, body, face–to deliver one congruent message.

 S

 stands for Self-knowing, the ability to accept yourself, to be authentic, and to reflect your values in your decisions and actions.

Below are a series of insight pieces into each of the PRES elements. To learn more, you may want to check out our book, Leadership Presence.
