Think about the time you are insisted on performing in front of a microphone and given very limited time for an opening introduction. Will you walk away? Or will you walk to the microphone and smile? When you are at the first option, do not ever think that you will make a good leader. On the contrary, the second option is only one of many things a leader will do in facing problem, such as the situation above. You would take a minute to size up the audience and you would say something you need to say in brief. Most importantly, just simply act like you have been there before. This symbolizes one of leadership character.
At the microphone, touch the pod and remain calm. It is necessary to show that we are in good control! Our stomach might probably be churning and our palms may be sweaty, but we must aware the microphone is still on our hands. This is extremely a contradiction feeling and emotion. Trying to think that we are the master of our destiny, or at least for the next five minutes, we will be feeling that there is nothing to fear of. When you keep that thought in mind, you will finally say to yourself; yes, I can do this. You then could speak before audiences and you will be just fine.
Such behavior is representing some of leadership characters. I define leadership presence as authority to earn. We might have a title, but we need to earn the respect and trust of our colleagues. Presence such as the example above is rooted in fundamental competence, and for them who aspire to lead, this sort of presence is essential.
No matter our looks or body type at the stage, we can have presence when we move on our ability to connect with other people, regardless of behind a microphone or as such; maintain our smile, and keep moving. The audience is ours. So be confident at speaking as a leader has always to be.
