People with Executive Presence inspire confidence! They do this by truly understanding themselves and others. This confidence is then translated into vision, action, and results. And this translation happens through effective communication, connection, and exploration.
During this program, you will develop techniques and strategies that will allow you to maximize your Executive Presence. We will engage in practical and interactive discussions and activities that will clarify and strengthen your communications in order to inspire confidence and ensure results.
Executive Presence: Understanding and Engaging Self and Others is part of the Communication Strategy for Success Certificate Program. For more information on completing the certificate, click here.
Crack the Code on Executive Presence
Experts agree that executive presence is a combination of personal traits and outward behaviors that create an image of leadership competence and trustworthiness. Sylvia Ann Hewlett, the founder, and CEO of the Center for Talent Innovation and author of Executive Presence, defines executive presence as how one acts (gravitas), speaks (communication), and looks (appearance). Executive coach Scott Eblin, author of The Next Level: What Insiders Know about Executive Success, organizes leadership presence (as he calls it) into three categories: behaviors that impact a leader’s immediate self, team, and the overall organization.
No matter how you (or your organization) define executive presence, keep in mind that it’s a group of traits and behaviors that starts with you and emanates outward to create a perception of your ability to lead under any circumstance.
