The Art of Showing Up

Presence matters more than ubiquity. When you arrive with intention, people feel it.

Showing up is a choice. It means bringing attention, respect, and readiness—not just a body in a chair.

We do our best work when we choose fewer rooms and enter them fully prepared to contribute.

Preparing to Arrive

Clarify why your presence matters before you walk in. Preparation signals respect for everyone involved.

Leave distractions outside. Silence notifications, take notes by hand, and look people in the eye.

Following Through

Capture commitments and deliver on them quickly. Reliability is the loudest form of showing up.

Thank the people who made the gathering possible. Gratitude keeps doors open.

Keep it with You

  • Decide which meetings or events deserve your full presence this week.
  • Prepare one thoughtful question or insight for each.
  • Close the loop afterward with clear follow-up.
