“Leadership presence is just about being in the room or showing up! It’s about the ability to take command, build confidence, inspire, and motivate people to action and create results. Leaders build their leadership presence by displaying courage in the face of challenges, focusing on the 25-meter target, taking action with purpose, and moving forward with commitment. A strong leadership presence will earn respect and trust. Leaders are not here to impress people with their looks, they are here to impact, energize, and influence others to complete the mission?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
