Hi there! Welcome to this edition of our newsletter, where we explore the impact you have on others' perception of you when you walk into a room. Simple hack, but powerful.
***

Make your entrance count - you don't get a second chance to make a statement when you arrive.

The moment you walk into a room, you're already communicating. Not just with your words, but with your presence. Set the tone before you speak.

Use every doorway as a cue to reset:
✔ Drop your shoulders
✔ Head high
✔ Stack what you're carrying with intention
✔ Breathe
✔ Step in with calm, credible energy

Walk in the way you want to be perceived — confident, in control, ready to contribute.

Small rituals create powerful results.

How do you set the tone before you speak?

That's all for this week's edition. We hope you found it inspiring and informative. As always, we're eager to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Until next time, keep shaping opportunities and making a difference!

In your corner,
Janine
