Maryland SHRM - State Council Quarterly Business Meeting

Guest Speaker  - Jennifer Watson

Strategic Presence: Influence Through Mind-Body Intelligence

Impact starts before you say a word. In high-stakes leadership, non-verbal energy, presence,
and alignment communicate more than language ever could. Jennifer teaches leaders and
teams to harness mind-body intelligence to project authority, credibility, and influence
instantly. By mastering energetic cues, body language, and subtle presence, you can shape
outcomes, build trust, and create alignment before they even speak. This session focuses on
non-verbal influence as a strategic leadership tool for high-level decision-makers.
