Relationships Rule Why Presence Might Be the Skill You’re Missing with Brad Farris | RR327
Presence can quietly transform how people experience your leadership.
Brad Farris joined me for a powerful conversation about leadership that doesn’t rely on hustle. As a coach to agency owners and C-suite leaders, Brad helps people grow into the version of themselves their team wants to follow. He believes slowing down is the key to better results and better relationships. We talked about everything from fewer meetings to better emails, and how learning to listen (really listen) can unlock trust, clarity, and momentum. If you’ve ever felt buried in busyness, Brad offers a new way forward, one that’s more intentional, more grounded, and far more effective.
Highlights:
1. Slowing Down to Speed Up - Brad explains how thoughtful communication reduces rework and speeds up your team's momentum.
2. Presence Changes Everything - Learn how being fully present shifts how others show up—and improves decision-making across your team.
3. The Ego Trap of Busy Leadership - Why constantly being in meetings and emails can feel productive but holds leaders back.
4. Leading with Trust, Not Control - Brad shares how over-involvement communicates distrust and prevents teams from stepping into their full potential.
5. The Identity Shift in Leadership - Discover why growing leaders must trade the satisfaction of doing for the impact of enabling others.
