Developing Executive Presence for Exceptional Leadership

Executive presence is no longer a nice-to-have for leaders who wish to be known as exceptional. This program explores the foundations of executive presence, including the relationship between other people’s perceptions and one’s self-awareness, and the impact this has on leadership development.

Executive presence is more than the ability to attract attention every time you enter a room or virtual workspace. It’s about the ability to demonstrate to your employees, managers, clients and peers that you’re a leader who is capable and reliable, and someone whose ideas are worth paying attention to. Those that possess it are able to align and motivate people, as well as to inspire the confidence in others required to move their careers forward.

Everyone can enhance and build their executive presence with the right kind of instruction and practise. This engaging and interactive program is your opportunity to learn and practice the ideas, techniques and tools – and interactively practise the soft skills – to enhance communications, make compelling presentations, and turbocharge meetings and social interactions. Participants will return to the office better able to influence others, stand out in the crowd, and fine-tune their personal brand – more than well-equipped with the foundational skills needed to become an exceptional leader.
