Kristi Hedges' "The Power of Presence" is a strong productivity guide in terms of focusing one's efforts on becoming more successful in one's goals and influence in the workplace. I found it quite helpful on how to approach long term plans and relationships for my own professional pursuits. The guide is divided into three main sections for the reader to peruse: Intentional, Individual, and Inspirational, part of what she defines as the "I- Presence" Model.
These dimensions are especially importan Kristi Hedges' "The Power of Presence" is a strong productivity guide in terms of focusing one's efforts on becoming more successful in one's goals and influence in the workplace. These dimensions are especially important when it comes to being a leader of one's chosen trade, whether you're seeking another career, expanding upon your current one, or working as an entrepreneur seeking to better project yourself and your business.
I like how Hedges maintains that being able to exude presence is something that's built progressively rather than something that you execute the first go-around. She draws upon her own experiences in an encouraging, informative tone, and for each chapter, summarizes her points on an executive level, with interactive exercises and places to jot down notes for those who read the guide.
The takeaway from "Power of Presence" is that it's designed to help you examine each of these dimensions to make improvements in your own work, and there are plenty of places where she asks the reader to examine their thought processes, habits, relationships, and overarching goals.
Then she encourages those reading the guide to put these goals into motion. Very well organized, informative, and multidimensional guide for anyone wanting to expand upon their leadership skills in the workplace. Jan 21, Dylan rated it liked it.

Nov 16, Steve rated it liked it. This book is good - really it is - but I just couldn't get into it. The author clearly knows her material, but somehow everything was just too abstract and I couldn't engage with it.

I prefer whole life applications when it comes to self-improvement. However, this book was positioned as helping readers live an authentic personal life as well, so I gave it a try. I can see how some of the tips can be used to enhance clarity and purpose in our lives and the book had some good momentum until about the halfway mark. It did relay most examples to leaders I read this book as a voluntary work assignment.
It did relay most examples to leadership roles and the work environment so the reader had to make the correlation to his or her personal life. From the mid-point on, i felt it was a bit repetitive and drawn out. Already short at pages, I did feel the book could be even shorter. Brevity is helpful within our new 21st century way of learning in the work environment with so much else to read and apply.
The personal brand presence exercise is helpful. The book content is useful and can be read in one sitting, so I think Kristi Hedges did a good job overall.
