Your Face is Talking

A tight brow.

A clipped tone. 

You mean no harm. You might not even notice when you do it.

Yet the team picks up something different in that split second before you speak.

How you show up matters.

I see too many leaders unintentionally create tension before a word is even said.

And it doesn’t take much: a heavy sigh, a rushed nod, a thoughtless eye roll.

No matter how tired, frustrated, or fed up you are, your presence sets the tone.

Do you want a practice where employees groan when they see your car pull up, or one where they’re happy to see you and everyone is ready to tackle the day?

Be the leader who walks in with a smile and invites trust and collaboration, not defensiveness.
