Communication Skills Tip: Our Dynamic Presence

Riding the train along The Hudson this past 4th of July weekend, I saw a lone kayaker bobbing up and down on the serene, yet dynamic river. For an instant, I felt like I was the moving water. When snapping back to the reality of the rattling train moving upstate, it made me think of presence and how powerful its duality can be. At the same time that presence is bold, colorful and expressive, it also is quiet, underspoken and balanced. Naturally, we ask ourselves if we all have presence and if it can be cultivated. I think we can all find our own unique state-of-aliveness the more still we let ourselves be. And the closer we get to the stillness, the closer we are to our personal sense of expression. Because life is a circle of opposites, we can find our true-self in silence which leads to the awareness of our self expression and then the outward manifestation of our unique presence. Think about it, get lost in it and discover something dynamic about yourself.
