Overview
Many managers lack executive presence, the trait that signals they are ready for promotion. Definitions vary, and some focus only on communication or tactical skills. This 60-minute executive presence training gives an updated definition centered on leadership skills, including projecting confidence.
You'll learn the key skills that make up executive presence: self-confidence, an influential and emotionally and socially intelligent communication style balanced with a drive for results, strategic understanding of the business, and leading a team toward goals.
The session also covers managing perceptions, staying dependable when times are tough, managing up and managing your team.
Why attend: If everyone around you is getting promoted and your feedback praises your results but says your communication lacks emotional and social intelligence, executive presence may be the missing piece. This session shows what to work on next. It suits leaders, managers, supervisors, senior project managers, individual contributors, high potentials and HR managers developing future leaders.
