I've been told (during an appraisal) that I lack presence in the workplace!
I guess this means that when I walk into a room nobody notices
I can understand this as I am quite quiet in meetings, I don't always contribute much. I am hardworking, a fair manager and experienced in my field. However I think I am going to be held back as although I know my stuff I don't 'talk the talk' and I'm rubbish at thinking on my feet and telling people what they want to hear
I do have good frienbds at work and am sociable and chatty with those I know well and in small groups but at times when I really need to mke a good impression I go quiet and can't think of anything to say
How can I change, or is presence something that can't be faked?
And has anyone else ever been told this, should I be insulted?
