How Your Presence Shapes Your Influence
by Elizabeth de Moraes
Many highly capable leaders have experienced this moment:
You share an idea in a meeting…
and the room moves on.
Then a few minutes later someone else says something similar,
and suddenly the conversation shifts.
The difference often isn't the idea. It's presence.
In today's world, expertise alone is no longer enough. Influence is shaped by how your presence is experienced.
The Presence Profile Assessment™ helps you understand how your leadership presence currently shows up, and where it has the greatest opportunity to expand.
It takes about eight minutes to complete.

The Presence Gap
Many leaders unknowingly navigate what I call The Presence Gap.
The difference between having expertise
and having influence.
Two people can share the same idea. Yet one idea moves the room forward while the other fades into the background.
This often happens because leadership presence operates through forces most people have never been taught to recognize.
The Presence Profile Assessment™ was created to help leaders see those forces more clearly.
The Presence Orbit™
Over years of studying leadership communication across boardrooms, stages, and global events, a pattern began to emerge.
Leadership presence expands through three dimensions. This framework is what I call The Presence Orbit™.
When these three dimensions align, leaders begin to generate something powerful.
Presence Gravity.
What You Will Discover
When you complete the assessment, you will receive:
Your current stage of leadership presence development. Examples may include:

Understanding your influence style can dramatically change how you lead, present, and communicate.
You will also see how your presence currently shows up across the three dimensions of the Presence Orbit:
This insight often reveals the dimension where the greatest opportunity for growth exists.
Why Take the Assessment
Most leaders have never had a clear picture of how their presence actually lands. They receive feedback on what they say, rarely on how they show up before they speak. The Presence Profile changes that.
Understand your starting point. You cannot strengthen what you cannot see. The assessment gives you a clear, structured view of where your presence is already working and where it is quietly costing you.
Identify your highest-leverage opportunity. Most leaders have one dimension of presence that, when developed, unlocks everything else. The Presence Profile helps you find it.
Lead with intention, not just instinct. Presence is not a personality trait. It is a set of learnable, developable skills. This assessment is the first step toward developing yours with precision.
The Presence Profile is not a personality test. It is a diagnostic, designed to give you actionable clarity about how your leadership presence shows up today.
The assessment takes approximately eight minutes to complete.
Your results will reveal how your leadership presence currently shows up and where it has the greatest opportunity to expand.
