FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MANILA, Philippines — The global leadership landscape is getting a jolt of uncompromising clarity. Lloyd A. Luna, the internationally acclaimed author and internationally renowned professional speaker known as #PambansangInspirasyon, has released his latest work: Even Chairs Do Their Best: How Presence Leads to Influence.
Luna, a trailblazing member of the Global Speakers Federation board with over two decades of experience across four continents, is tired of the “exit strategy” culture. In this book, he introduces a bold, counter-intuitive philosophy: we are failing precisely because we give ourselves the permission to. The subtitle, How Presence Leads to Influence, serves as the roadmap for this journey. Luna argues that influence isn’t a trophy you win; it’s a state of being you inhabit.
Using the “The Chair Philosophy,” he deconstructs how a simple object fulfills its purpose with 100% reliability, while humans often drift through rooms without ever truly arriving. “A chair doesn’t try to be a table,” Luna says. “It simply exerts its presence.” Blending the grit of a Manila success story with the sophistication of a Fortune 500 advisor, Luna provides a diagnostic framework to help professionals identify their “seat” in the world. Whether you are a “Throne” or a “Rocking Chair,” this book is a provocative call to stop making excuses and start making an impact.
