Coach – Leadership & Executive Presence *
Do you see yourself as others do? Are other people’s perceptions of you keeping you out of the executive suite? Is your lack of presence preventing clients from purchasing your products and services? Your presence (or lack of) influences how others perceive you and is strategic to leadership development, advancement in all companies and essential to your business success.
It is challenging to see yourself as others perceive you and many resist. It takes more than hard work to get that promotion and to influence a potential client. When you miss the other person’s perspective of you, you miss the opportunity to influence and project your leadership.
Executive presence is essential in most organizations yet many leaders and business owners are oblivious to their own presence and how others perceive them. How do your clients, colleagues and bosses perceive you? Are you visible or are you invisible? Do you attract potential clients with your networking pitch? Or do they flock to someone else?
Expanding your influence often involves unspoken and unwritten rules. To what degree do you possess the ability to project your leadership on a daily basis in diverse situations and to demonstrate you have the capacity to be a leader, an influencer, an executive or successful entrepreneur? Believe it or not, you can manage other people’s perceptions of you by increasing your executive presence.
Executive presence is elusive and hard to define because what works in one business industry or organization may lead to the exit door in another. When you ask your supervisor or important clients about executive presence, you might just hear, “I just know it when I see it.” Whether you are a corporate leader, an entrepreneur or a business owner, this “it” is the “X Factor” for your success.
This “X factor” includes several dimensions; each dimension is critical in projecting your readiness for a promotion, a new project leadership role or for landing a big client account for your business. So…how effective are your public speaking skills? How powerful is your elevator speech and networking pitch?
Discover the secrets to igniting your executive presence and creating a great personal marketing brand. Projecting a great presence helps you establish yourself as a leader, an influencer and a success. Isn’t this what you want?
