9 Unspoken Leadership Skills Part 2 of 6, The Power of Presence (Before the Title)

Aleutian Atlas

You don’t need a title to lead. In Part 2 of our Unspoken Leadership Skills series, we explore how presence — the way you communicate, carry yourself, and earn trust — shapes your influence long before you step into a formal leadership role. We break down what presence really means (beyond confidence or charisma), why it matters in your 20s and early 30s, and how it can open doors to new opportunities. From making an impact in meetings to building credibility with peers and senior leaders, this episode offers practical strategies for young professionals who want to grow their influence and stand out as future leaders.
