Hello kings and queens,

Your body speaks before you ever say a word. As The Presence King™, I teach leaders, artists, and professionals how to harness their physical presence to lead with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

Use this checklist to audit and align your body language with the message you want to send, because communication is King, but Presence is the Crown.


The Top 10 Checklist for Optimum Body Language

  1. Own Your Space
    Stand tall, grounded, and balanced. Avoid shrinking or slouching.
    Confidence begins with how you carry yourself.

  2. Make Eye Contact with Intention
    Use eye contact to build trust, not to dominate.
    Connection happens when people FEEL seen.

  3. Relax Your Shoulders
     Drop tension in the shoulders to open up your posture.
    A relaxed body creates a more receptive audience.

  4. Lead with Your Chest
    Walk and stand with an open chest (not puffed up, but proud).
    This signals openness, leadership, and readiness.

  5. Use Your Hands Purposefully
    Express with natural gestures, don’t hide or fidget.
    Your hands are visual extensions of your message.

  6. Smile with Presence
    Smile when it's sincere and aligned with the energy you want to project.
    A grounded smile adds warmth and authenticity.

  7. Move with Rhythm
    Don’t freeze, but also don’t fidget. Let your movement support your message.
    Presence has flow, not frantic energy.

  8. Match Your Energy to the Room
    Read the energy in the space and elevate it.
    Leadership in presence means guiding the room, not overpowering it.

  9. Use Pauses Powerfully
    Let silence speak. Don’t rush through your points.
    Stillness can be more commanding than words.

  10. Align Your Face, Voice & Body
    Make sure your facial expressions, tone, and body posture match your message.
    People believe what they see more than what they hear.

Your body is always communicating. When you become intentional with your movement, posture, and expression, you unlock the superpower of presence. Don’t leave your leadership or influence up to chance, own it with precision.
