PresencePresent

The holiday season is in the air. Pretty hard to miss.

Sitting in numerous business meetings and other human gatherings this week, I was reminded that our Presence is a gift. Though a gift of great value, it doesn't cost us much to share it.

Giving the Present of Presence means lending to the engagement:

  • Our full attention to the Other(s)
  • Our eyes
  • Our ears
  • Our open body language
  • Our brain/thinking
  • Our participation in the chatter
  • Our inclusion of others in that chatter
  • Our expressions of care (whether we agree or not)
The packaging of that Present doesn't even have to be costly or pretty. ;-) 

Happy holidays!
