Influence begins with grounding.
One of the quiet lessons in leadership is how often influence begins not with what you say, but with how you choose to be present, from your grounding.
In coaching, it’s tempting to lean on tools, frameworks, or techniques to show our value and while those things can be helpful, but they are never what makes the deepest difference.
What clients remember is how you meet them in their moments of uncertainty, the grounding you offer when they feel unsteady in themselves.
Grounding is not about having the right words at the right time. It’s about sitting in your ability to listen beyond the surface, to stay present even when someone else is swirling, and hold space without rushing in to fix.
That kind of presence communicates trust. It tells your clients that they don’t need to perform for you, that all of who they are belongs in the room. From that place, real transformation can begin.
As you grow your business, it’s easy to think strategy alone will build it. But actually , your presence is your strategy.
The more you learn to show up authentically, the more your business naturally takes shape around the energy you bring. People are drawn not to perfect answers, but to coaches who can hold them with steadiness while they find their own way.
So as you think about what’s next in your practice, you might ask yourself: how am I choosing to be present, both with my clients and with myself?
And what shifts might happen if I allowed presence to be the foundation of my growth?
