Be Present

People remember the way you make them feel.

Leadership isn’t just about how fast you move — it’s about how fully you show up.

Trek’s second rule of hospitality says it simply:
“Be Present.”

They follow it up with this:
“People remember the way you make them feel.
….To make people feel understood, first make yourself available.”

That’s the gear most leaders skip when they’re racing toward results.

In my Executive Coaching work, I help leaders slow down just enough to shift into something more sustainable — presence, empathy, intention.

Because when you make people feel seen — whether it’s a direct report, cross-functional partner, or peer — engagement rises. So does trust.
And when trust shows up, performance follows.

This isn’t soft. It’s strategic.
You can still chase outcomes — stronger sales, better retention, improved margins — while showing up with heart.

Being present doesn’t mean pulling back.
It means you’re tuned in.
Steady.
Venture-ready.

Lead with presence.
Lead with kindness.
Lead like it matters — because it does.
