The Power of Being Present With Dumi Oburota

“The power of presence is all about connection, there's a magical kind of beautiful thing that happens between people once you engage on a common ground. I think it's the most natural state for humans to connect in a sense, you let your ego down, everything just drops, and you're just connecting on a human level. I think especially in the industries where there's so much ego, especially in my industry, and once you can have a real, you know, connection, a soulful connection, between two people. That's where you get the pure magic.”
