INSIGHTS FOR GROWTH

Intentionality. It's possible to be present without being intentional. To show up physically but drift through the day on autopilot. Intention turns presence into purpose. It's asking: What do I want from this meeting? What does this person need from me right now? What's the one thing that would make today meaningful? What's your intention for today?

Presence. You can be in the room without being present. In the meeting without being engaged. In the conversation without really listening. Being there isn't the same as showing up. Showing up means bringing your full attention. Your curiosity. Your willingness to be changed by what you hear. Where could you show up more fully this week?

Showing up isn't the same as being present. You can attend every meeting and still be absent. You can be in the room and a thousand miles away. You can nod along while your mind races through your to-do list. We've all done it. And we've all felt it from others.
