The Presence Practice Personal Energetic Leadership Program (2)

The Presence Practice™ is my live, ongoing leadership subscription for people who want to build the internal foundations that make leadership sustainable, human, and genuinely impactful... no matter what’s happening around you.

This is where leaders come to quietly strengthen their presence, vitality, and internal resilience, so their decisions, conversations, and influence become more intentional and far less draining.

Personal Energetic Leadership Program (25)

Why I Created This Subscription

When I first started this work, I noticed a pattern.
Even the most accomplished leaders were exhausted, reactive, carrying stress in their bodies — and having unintended impact on the people they loved and led. They were often quietly assuming things would “get better or easier” someday.

They didn’t need another strategy.
They didn’t need to work harder.
They didn’t need more noise.

They needed quiet. Space.
And they needed to feel like themselves again:  grounded, clear, present, effective.

Presence doesn’t happen if we just wait for it to happen. The outside world won’t give it to us. We have to cultivate it — intentionally.

That’s what the IEP Method® was built for, and The Presence Practice™ is where we learn to live it and integrate it into real life. Gently and consistently.

Growing From the Inside Out:
Your Vitality and Presence Create Your Impact. 

So often, leaders focus on making themselves better.
They learn a new framework, earn a certification, download another tool.

But without an internal foundation, those external skills don’t stick — and they’re rarely sustainable.

That's why we focus on an inside-out approach. When your energetic and presence foundation is strong:

  • You trust yourself more in leadership decisions
  • Conversations feel clearer and less charged
  • Trust increases — in yourself and from others
  • Your impact becomes more intentional and effective

The Presence Practice™ helps you strengthen the internal alignment that makes sustainable leadership possible — so you can lead with clarity and care in both your work and your life.

This is where the practice meets real life — designed to help you integrate, sustain, and strengthen your presence every month:

  • Live support that meets you where you are
  • A sustainable rhythm without unnecessary pressure
  • Tools that really work work — whether you use them for meetings, conversations, or big decisions

And finally, this isn’t just about you.

It’s about supporting you to be a more sustainable, vital, and effective instrument of change — so you can better serve others as a leader, parent, partner, collaborator, and human being, using your precious life force intentionally.

What Makes The Presence Practice™ Different?

A lot of leadership programs teach what to do (then quietly hope you’ll remember to do it).

The Presence Practice™ is different. It’s a real, embodied practice — designed for real leadership days and real human nervous systems. Along the way, we also clear up some common misconceptions about presence.

Presence is not just “executive presence” or polished performance. It’s not simply paying attention, staying calm, or something you either have or don’t. And it’s definitely not another thing to get right.

True presence is a learnable, trainable leadership capacity. It’s how you regulate, relate, and respond — especially under pressure. It’s something you practice in the middle of meetings, conversations, and decisions. And it’s a foundation that makes every other leadership skill you have more effective.

Sustainable Leadership Starts with Your Presence and Energy

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m too busy. How much time does this take each week?

This is designed for real life. You’ll get short, powerful practices you can apply in the flow of your day — in meetings, conversations, and decision moments — without adding a major time burden.

We’ve often had clients share that this work actually saves them a ton of time because they’re more present, proactive, and effective at handling their lives when they practice this work.

Is this “soft stuff,” or will I get practical leadership tools?

You’ll get practical tools. Your energy and presence shape every conversation, decision, and outcome — and this work makes your communication, strategy, and execution more effective.

Why will this stick when other leadership trainings haven’t?

This program focuses on your leadership presence and energy optimization.  Most often, other leadership training and business system results are significantly amplified when people do this work.

Most trainings deliver information. The IEP Method® is built for practice and integration — simple, actionable tools you use consistently, so the shift becomes how you lead, not just something you learned.

I’ve followed Anese for a long time. Will this still be valuable if I already know the work?

Yes — because this isn’t about getting more information. It’s about practice and integration into your daily leadership life, strengthening the foundation that makes high-level leadership sustainable and energizing.

Does “presence” or “energy” actually impact results?

Yes. Presence is a multiplier. Leaders who manage their energy run better meetings, navigate hard conversations with more steadiness, and build more trust — which directly impacts clarity, execution, and performance.

Additionally, presence and energy are contagious (read Anese’s books Contagious Culture and Contagious You), so the better you can command your own, the more you can positively affect others.

What if I struggle to stay consistent?

You won’t be doing it alone. The membership includes live calls, consistent touchpoints, and progress tracking to keep you engaged and moving forward — without pressure or perfection.

Some of Anese’s clients are top-tier founders and executives with little time. Anese will be sharing tricks and tips to integrate this work authentically into your life.

What happens if I miss a session or fall behind?

While this is a program that is built on live participation, we certainly understand that things come up, and you may need to miss a session. Everything is recorded, and the practices are designed to be flexible. You can re-engage at any time and reset without feeling like you’re starting over.

What if I’m already overwhelmed and can’t take on one more thing?

If you truly can’t make any space for practice right now, it may not be the best season to join — and that’s okay. This work is proven and fully actionable, but it does require a willingness to show up and apply the tools.

How do I know this will work for me?

You’ll have guidance from Anese, space to reflect, and tools you can apply immediately. Most members notice meaningful shifts quickly — and you’ll be able to track progress in ways that matter to you.
