As we progress through our careers, how we portray ourselves becomes more and more critical to our success in business. We often think that executive presence is a magical quality, and that top leaders are born with it. This is not the case, and it is a skill that can be developed, along with the confidence to show authenticity in our leadership style.
This course has been designed to help attendees break down what exactly executive presence means to them and their personal image, whilst they hone their personal brand, gravitas and communication skills.
Why is running this executive presence course a good idea?
Well, just imagine if attendees were better able to:
- Define the meaning of executive presence, and measure themselves against this
- Think about and develop an effective personal brand
- Build gravitas by working on their confidence & emotional intelligence
- Understand different communication methods which will help deliver messages in the right way
- Show assertiveness through a simple technique, and avoid passive or aggressive behaviour
- Explore a vision which will engage their teams, allowing for success in the future
