ein gutes Auftreten
This is from a work reference for somebody working in the field of tree preservation. I'm not sure what is meant by 'Auftretten' here. I need something more meaningful than 'good manner' It just seems to fall flat here in English. Could I perhaps use "professional manner."

: Hi Kim, this is what makes Ingrid's suggestion so phenomenal - in all these discussions the idea of translating Auftreten, which everyone sees a million times, with "presence" never occured to anyone once!!!
