Beth-Ann Galvin and Andile Masuku have produced an episode of The Presentation Fix that will inspire you to think about what kind of personal “maintenance” you might engage in over the holidays so that 2016 finds you poised to kill it.

Thus, in this episode they discuss the “Power of Personal Presence”— also known as the the “X Factor”, and try to determine whether it’s something one is born with, or an quality one can acquire. The challenge is that many of the attributes of this so-called ‘presence’ are non-tangible, and difficult to describe.

Beth is convinced that even the most naturally gifted personalities often harness a cultivated ability or skill set they might not even realise they possess, which they use to project a confident and deeply affecting image. She really does believe that is something anyone willing to put in the time and effort can acquire and master over time.

Listen in to hear Beth share a shocking let-down she encountered on YouTube, and to hear she and Andile reference one of South Africa’s finest exports— a young man who is the epitome of how to harness the power of presence. (Hint: He’s incredibly funny.)

Most importantly, Beth will share three useful tips that, if followed, are sure to help you develop and hone your own personal presence.
