Communicate with Executive Presence
Use the power of your personal brand to
get results
Think, act and speak like a leader is our mantra for this program. One of the core characteristics of executive presence is the ability to communicate for results utilizing a range of competencies that include projected confidence, listening skills that convey engagement, empathy and authenticity, and the ability to be concise and speak with impact. It also includes nonverbal communications like eye contact, facial expressions, posture and stance.
In this customizable, high-impact program, you learn the critical characteristics and communication skills that convey executive presence. Using the latest scientific research in interpersonal communication and human behavior, we reveal how perception management, social intelligence, advanced communication skills—including executive storytelling, ethical influence, projecting gravitas and personal branding—can transform a career and inspire employees, colleagues and clients.
We work closely with you to examine how you currently use the components of social intelligence, exploring how you can better implement them to read people and influence their behavior, manage interpersonal conflict and improve relationships. You’ll receive expert guidance in understanding the inherent challenges in this process so that you’ll come away owning these skills.
