Presence

Showing up fully in conversations and meetings, not just physically, so people feel heard and respected.

Behaviors

  • Puts devices away during one-on-one conversations
  • Listens without planning the response
  • Notices when someone is not participating and invites them in

Anti-patterns

  • Multitasking in meetings
  • Listening only to respond
  • Presence as a performance without attention

Reinforce it with

  • Meeting norms that protect attention
  • Camera-on norms that respect remote colleagues
  • Leaders modeling full engagement
Presence is the gift of attention in a distracted world.
