The tradecraft guide on how to command a room as a civilian with confidence and authority by applying strategies used by military officers.

When a commanding officer enters a room, people notice. It’s not just the uniform, the rank, or the title – it’s the presence.

As an operative, I’ve seen the difference between those who command respect and those who demand it. The former owns the space naturally, while the latter struggles to hold it. The good news is, you don’t need a military background to command a room like a seasoned officer. It’s about applying strategy, situational awareness, and a certain level of confidence that says, “I’m in control, without having to say a word.”
