The 5 Components of Showing Up

1.       Intention – Own what you want and be clear about it.

2.       Energy – Take care of yourself and how you show up to the table.  Be a powerful instrument of change and possibility.

3.       Presence – Be present with people and be thoughtful about how they experience being with you (your body language, what you say and do, your tone of voice, etc.). 

4.       Action and Skills – Stay on top of things.  Move forward, increase your skills, and accomplish your goals.

5.       Impact – Make it happen.

How leaders “show up” and how they grow others are strong predictors of the quality of leadership as well as the quality of the culture that the leadership is creating.
