Creating Personal Presence Look, Talk, Think,

#x1C;Personal presence#x1D; is hard to define, but we know it when we see it. Someone walks into a room and people step aside. Heads turn. Conversation opens up to include them. They#x19;re in charge-of themselves and any situation. It#x19;s not a question of status symbols or position. Personal presence involves genuine character and relationship issues. It#x19;s not who you are-it#x19;s how you are, how you present yourself, how you act. Dianna Booher, an award-winning consultant to Fortune 500 companies, shows how anyone can master the skills and attitudes that will enable them to become compelling leaders and communicate with credibility and power.

Dianna Booher is CEO of Booher Consultants, serving 'Fortune 500 clients such as IBM, PepsiCo, USAA, and JPMorgan Chase. She has also been featured in Successful Meetings' list of "21 Top Speakers for the. 21st Century." Her previous books have sold nearly 4 million copies.
