how a person presents themselves through appearance, communication, and behavior, creating a lasting impression that conveys confidence, credibility, and authenticity.
How I employ this practice?
Presence is an important quality that is often overlooked but is very important, especially in physicianhood. It involves how you carry yourself, how you communicate, and how you engage with others in both professional and personal settings. This includes the way you dress, your punctuality, your body language, and the energy you bring into a room.
To strengthen my sense of presence, I’ve focused on being intentional about how I show up. One tool that has helped me is Google Calendar. I use it to stay organized, manage my time, and ensure that I do not arrive late to events. This consistency has helped me build a more reliable and professional image.
