This was my biggest talk to date to 200+ leaders and executives in-person. It’s interesting because attendees expected an exact formula for executive presence—like you need a certain percentage of extroversion or charisma (by the way you do NOT need both). Executive presence can be learned.
In this replay I share tools and frameworks on how to create your own executive presence.
In this talk I remind you to see your colleagues with curiosity vs. judgment, and to treat each interaction as a data point to understand someone else’s goals and perspectives.
I shared personal stories, and I threw in some jokes because, honestly, I secretly dream of being a comedian ;)
My favorite part of the talk? The beautiful coaching and support at the end.
What We Cover in This Episode:

• My Conscious Conversations™ heart-led model on how to create your own, authentic executive presence which includes Passion, Pause, Perspectives, Prepare, Practice and Perform. This is the exact model that got me this talk; my courses with LinkedIn, Penn, and Brown; and closing 2 more speaking engagements this past week.
• A team template you can use to better understand how to showcase executive presence with team members and executives. This dashboard has helped my clients get VP roles.
• Word-to-word power phrases you can integrate at your next meeting including how to deal with the most difficult team members. This is a favorite for my clients.
• Frameworks to prepare for meetings and interactions
