Presence over Pressure

### Presence over Pressure: Leading with Clarity, Confidence and Connection

** Join us for a special Master Class **
In a world of complex relationships, your presence—how you are being—often speaks louder than your plans. And once you learn to work with that consciously, you begin to shift conversations, build stronger alliances, and create outcomes with more ease and authenticity.

When you're working within a complex organisational structure, stakeholder management often becomes one of the most demanding aspects of leadership. Conflicting agendas, power dynamics, lack of alignment, and unclear communication can drain energy and delay outcomes.

In such situations, it’s easy to focus only on strategies—what to say, when to say it, how to influence. But what truly determines your effectiveness in these moments is who you are being.

For example:

• Are you being grounded or reactive when you're faced with conflicting priorities?
• Are you being authentic and open, or are you wearing a mask to try to please all parties?
• Are you being purposeful, even when the environment feels chaotic?

These qualities of being determine how you:

• Build trust with stakeholders
• Stay composed and credible under pressure
• Navigate conflicting perspectives without losing clarity or confidence
• Influence without authority

The big hairy question remains: how will you be able to embody this way of Being to become more effective?

The Being Profile® brings awareness to these internal states—highlighting where your way of being supports or hinders effective stakeholder engagement.

This time you will be guided by two experienced facilitators who bring both depth and practical insight:
