Topics
Cultivating Presence
in Speaking, Leading, and Life!
Presence isn't something that we pull out
of the closet and don for a special occasion. It's a way of
being and a practice that we cultivate in every aspect of
our lives. When we live a life committed to presence in our
everyday activities, we are then much more able to have presence
at those times when we are feeling especially nervous or fearful.
When we are in presence, we are much more relaxed and available
to ourselves, have more access to our content, and are more
connected with our audience. This state of being is an absolutely
key, but often overlooked, quality for effective leadership.
In Carla Kimball's interactive leadership development presentation,
Cultivating Presence, we begin with a conversation
identifying the key elements of presence and why it's such
an important characteristic of a good leader and speaker.
We then explore The Seven Crown Jewels
of Presence: seven simple strategies for living a
life of presence in our everyday activities and, by doing
so, we learn to speak (and lead) with presence, whether we
are talking to one person, speaking up in a meeting or presenting
to an audience of 500.
To get a taste of how Carla presence and her approach to
speaking, watch a 5 minute
video of Carla talking about one of the Crown
Jewels.
If you are looking for more than a motivational speaker —
not just motivation but inspiration and education— for
the people in your organization or association, you might
consider bringing Carla in to share this life changing perspective
with your group.

Sustainable Joy:
The art of slowing down and cultivating presence
Carla has dedicated much of her adult life
exploring presence. As a dancer, a yoga and meditation teacher,
a stress management consultant and, most recently, as a speaking
presence coach, the experience of presence has been at the
core of her ongoing personal inquiry.
In 2008, Carla had the opportunity to live
for two months in a yurt in an ancient olive grove in a remote
part of Greece. During those two months, Carla began to identify
the essential qualities of presence that have woven through
all that she's done. Carla now lives on a farm in a co-housing
community dedicated to living sustainably and is once again
experiencing how important those essential principles are
to living an intentional life.
Using photos and stories from her experiences
in Greece and on the farm as well as her deeply honed contemplative
practices that have informed her personal life and her skill
as a public speaking presence coach, Carla shares these emerging
themes with her audiences and offers people a framework in
which to create a life of joyful presence for themselves.
Carla can present this topic as a two hour
talk or a half- or full-day workshop.

Speaking with
Both Feet on the Ground
So often people who have a high degree of
fear of public speaking describe it as an "out of body"
experience. They don't feel present with themselves, their
audience, or their content.
In this workshop, designed as an extended
experience of at least a day and a half, Carla integrates
her unique approach to public speaking with what she calls
embodied presence, the ability to stay grounded
in your physical experience of yourself while you speak.
Through yoga-like exercises along with multiple
opportunities to practice speaking with presence, you'll learn
to become "comfortable in your own skin" as you
speak authentically and in connection with your audience.
