A Mindful Approach to Modern Business


Be Present isn’t just a name—it’s a reminder.

A call to slow down, refocus, and lead from a place of alignment rather than pressure.

It’s a challenge to the status quo of hustle culture, digital noise, and disconnected growth.

Founded by Marisa Cali, Be Present exists to help business leaders and creative professionals cut through the chaos and get back to what matters—clarity, connection, and intentional action.

Whether through a retreat, an AI integration workshop, or a digital brand refresh, every service we offer is grounded in one belief:

When you're present, you're powerful.

Our Ethos

We believe that…

  • Presence leads to clarity. When you slow down, you see things differently—and better.

  • Systems support freedom. Tech should help you breathe easier, not harder.

  • Connection creates momentum. The best ideas—and outcomes—come from real, human connection.

  • Leadership starts within. You can’t lead others well if you’re misaligned with yourself.

Our Framework

This ethos comes to life through our core areas of work:

Empowered Efficiency

We help teams and individuals simplify their workflows using AI and automation without losing their humanity. Think time-saving, energy-giving systems that serve your mission.

Connected Experience Design

We produce purposeful events and retreats that give leaders the space to reset, realign, and re-engage with themselves and their teams.

Digital Identity Systems

We support professionals in aligning their online presence with who they truly are so they can lead and connect with clarity across every platform.

Whether you’re a founder, nonprofit leader, or executive ready to pause and pivot, Be Present is here to walk with you toward a more sustainable way of working.

Because showing up for your business starts with showing up for yourself.

A Note from Marisa

I created Be Present because I spent years building a business that looked successful on the outside—but felt scattered on the inside.

I know what it’s like to juggle too much, lead while burned out, and lose sight of what really matters.

Be Present is my response to that experience. A business built on clarity, alignment, and meaningful connection.

Whether I’m helping you simplify your workflow, design your next event, or reset your digital presence, my goal is always the same:
To help you step back, get clear, and lead with intention.
