Why Personal Presence Still Matters in a Digital World

We live in a time where connection can happen in an instant. A quick DM, a Zoom call, or a LinkedIn post can reach hundreds (sometimes thousands) of people.

Digital connection is powerful, and it has opened doors for women entrepreneurs everywhere.

But here’s the truth: nothing builds trust, credibility, and connection quite like showing up in person.

When you walk into a room—whether it’s a networking event, a client meeting, or a mastermind retreat—you bring an energy that no digital message can fully capture. Your tone, your body language, and your authentic presence leave a lasting impression.

What Does It Mean to Show Up Fully?

1. Show up fully.

When you step into a room, bring your full attention and best energy. Don’t hide behind your phone or second-guess your value. Presence is felt, not just seen.

2. Be truly present.

It's easy to get caught up in what you’ll say next or how you’ll be perceived. Instead, focus on listening deeply, engaging genuinely, and connecting in the moment.

3. Stay authentically you.

You don’t have to be the loudest or the most polished. You just have to be real.

People remember the entrepreneur who shows up as herself—confident, grounded, and relatable.

Your Challenge for This Week

Where can you bring your personal presence to the table this week?

• Is there a local networking event you’ve been meaning to attend?

• A coffee meeting you’ve been putting off?

• A chance to meet a client face-to-face instead of over email?

Digital connection will take you far, but personal presence is what makes people feel like they truly know, like, and trust you.
