It’s leadership.

It starts within.

Why authentic self-leadership matters now
Authentic leadership — especially the shift from performance to presence — matters now because people are no longer looking for leaders who simply appear confident or have all the answers.
They are looking for leaders who feel real, grounded, and trustworthy.
In today’s workplaces, pressure is constant. Change is fast. Teams are stretched. Uncertainty is normal. Under these conditions, people notice less what leaders say and more how leaders show up.
Presence creates trust.
And trust is now one of the most valuable currencies in leadership.
People don’t need leaders who pretend certainty.
They need leaders who can stay present inside uncertainty.
Because when a leader is fully present:
Teams feel safer speaking honestly
Communication becomes clearer
Decisions become more aligned
Conflict becomes easier to navigate
Culture becomes more human
Presence is not softer leadership.
It is stronger leadership.
Because it asks leaders to stop hiding behind role, title, or performance — and lead from awareness, clarity, and connection.
That is why this conversation matters now more than ever.
What to expect
This is not a lecture.
It is a live, interactive experience.
Using the visual facilitation tools of Points of You® and a structured reflection process, participants are invited to step out of automatic leadership patterns and into greater awareness.
Through guided questions, visual exploration, and conversation, you will reflect on what it truly means to be present as a leader — not simply calm, but genuinely available to what is happening within you and around you.
Participants leave with:
Greater awareness of how they respond under pressure
Insight into the difference between presence and performance
A clearer understanding of how their leadership is experienced by others
One practical shift they can apply immediately in their work and relationships
Who is it for
This session is designed for:
If you are ready to deepen trust, communication, and connection in your workplace, this experience is
for you.
Your Facilitators
Sally Sing
Bronwyn Buchanan
SYSTEMIC TEAM COACH \ FACILITATORCOACH \ TRAINER \ FACILITATOR \ CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT \ 18 YEAR’S EXPERIENCE IN EMPOWERING PEOPLESally Sng is a strong fit to facilitate Presence vs Performance because she brings both depth and steadiness to conversations about leadership under pressure.
She has a calm, thoughtful facilitation style that helps participants slow down enough to notice what is really happening beneath performance, busyness, or automatic leadership habits. She does not force insight. She creates the conditions for it.
Sally’s style supports this because she brings:
Emotional intelligence and sensitivity to group dynamics
The ability to hold space for honest reflection
A grounded, non-performative presence herself
Curiosity that invites deeper thinking rather than quick answers
She complements the Global Positive Links approach well because she embodies the very thing this session teaches:
Leadership that is less about performing expertise and more about creating meaningful connection.
Bronwyn is a strong fit for Presence vs Performance because her work already sits at the intersection of self-awareness, courage, values and how we show up when things are uncertain.
Her background as a coach, facilitator and Chartered Accountant gives her an interesting combination of human insight and real-world organisational experience. She understands the pressure to deliver and perform, while her coaching work invites leaders to look beneath that performance — noticing the patterns, assumptions and behaviours that emerge when the pressure rises.
Through experiential learning, visual reflection and metaphor, Bronwyn creates space for the kinds of conversations this session needs: honest without being uncomfortable for the sake of it, reflective without becoming abstract, and practical enough to influence how someone leads when they return to work.
Perhaps most importantly, Bronwyn doesn’t simply teach presence. Her facilitation style asks people to experience it.
That makes her particularly well suited to a session about leading without losing yourself.
Together, Sally and Bronwyn bring a powerful balance to Presence vs Performance.
Bronwyn brings courage, curiosity and challenge. She invites leaders to look beneath familiar patterns, question what is driving their behaviour under pressure, and explore what it means to lead from their values rather than simply perform the role.
Sally brings steadiness, emotional intelligence and presence. She creates the space for people to slow down, reflect honestly, and stay with what emerges rather than rushing towards an answer.
Together, they offer something neither needs to provide alone: challenge and safety, insight and reflection, courage and calm.
Their different styles also model an important truth at the heart of the session: there is no single way to “look like” a leader. Presence is not a performance or personality style. It is the capacity to remain connected to yourself, to others, and to what the moment is asking of you.
That makes Sally and Bronwyn not simply facilitators of Presence vs Performance, but a compelling demonstration of what it can look like in practice.
