The Power of Presence in Leadership
The Power of Presence in Leadership  
Podcast: The Playbook With David Meltzer
Published On: Mon Jan 12 2026
Description: In this episode, I share six lessons that show why presence always beats performance. Rooms don’t respond to titles—they respond to energy, clarity, and service. I walk through how intention sets the tone, why the first moments matter, and how asking better questions creates alignment without force. I explain why breathing before speaking creates confidence, how to say less and mean more, and why combining data, stories, and lessons builds trust. When you close with certainty instead of worry, you don’t just lead the room—you elevate it. To join my next free Friday Training sessions, email me at david@dmeltzer.com
