It’s how you show up, at all…
I’m sure you’ve been a “victim” of a no show or a “ghosting.”
It’s happened when I was trying to hire a service to mow my lawn. Chatty Cathy’s until they were needed…and then nada.
Or you’re chatting up a friend about hanging out for your birthday and your text gets ignored…(yeah, that happened).
In all cases, I soothe myself by saying…perhaps I dodged a bullet there.
But it also reminds me of the Maya Angelou quote I LIVE by…
“When people show you who they are, believe them…the first time.”
That’s why your presence convinces others. It’s a clear indicator that you:
- think well of them
- think well of yourself
- are who you say you are
So if you want to convince someone of your integrity and value…show up and be present.
