True presence isn’t about speaking louder or taking up space — it’s about how fully you inhabit the moment, and how deliberately you direct attention.
Actors know that stillness can be more commanding than movement, and that silence can land harder than words. Impact is what follows: the impression you leave, the authority you project, and the influence you create long after the moment has passed. Together, presence and impact form the art of making people lean in — not because you demand it, but because they can’t look away.
