Leading People Is Your Presence Helping or Hurting You?
What does your body say about you when you walk into a room?
And how much of your leadership impact depends on something you can’t see — but everyone else can feel?
In this episode, Kate Walker Miles of RADA Business — a trusted advisor to senior executives and leadership teams — reveals how posture, breath, and voice shape credibility, confidence, and influence.
Drawing on her background in experimental psychology, acting, and behavioural coaching, Kate explains how to use your body as an ally in communication, especially when the stakes are high.
And in a unique five-minute guided exercise, she helps you experience what authentic presence feels like in real time — offering practical tools to:
- Ground yourself and manage nerves before high-stakes moments
- Use breath and alignment to project calm authority
- Speak with clarity and conviction
- Reconnect with your physical presence to lead with impact
If you’ve ever wondered why some leaders hold the room while others disappear into it, this episode will help you understand — and change — what’s really going on.
A practical, engaging conversation that proves leadership isn’t just what you say — it’s how you show up.
