Leadership Presence

There’s a lot of talk these days about the Power of “Presence”. Leadership Presence involves your intentionality, your emotional intelligence, and your communication prowess. It is a deep awareness of self, others, and what is happening in the corporate environment. It is a combination of style, substance, and character.

People often describe a leader with leadership presence as having a “vibe”… poised, self-assured, open and humble, yet appropriately assertive, gracious, compassionate to a large degree, and flexible. She exudes control and polish, showing up as poised under pressure and deliberate, with purposeful body language. He is that rare combination of savvy yet approachable. How does one develop these attributes in our frenetic-paced work environments?

Leadership presence training will “unpack” the three elements of style, substance, and character, with practical and ready-to-use strategies. You’ll have just what you need to show up as you intend.

Public Speaking: Persuasive Powerful Presentations & Proposals

Whether we’re talking to our co-workers in a meeting, speaking in front of a charity task force, or presenting in front of an audience, we all have to speak in public from time to time.  We can do this well or we can do this badly, and the outcome strongly affects the way that people think about us and the actions they take following our presentation. And because we care about these outcomes, public speaking causes almost all of us so much anxiety and concern.

There is good news, though!   First, know that speaking in public is a learnable skill, and even the most disorganized and/or shy can make improvements when you know the techniques to use.  And second, know that “technique breeds confidence”.   With our techniques and guidance, you can master your fear of public speaking, craft memorable remarks and stories, and perform your speech exceptionally well.

Being a good public speaker can enhance your career opportunities, build your image, boost your self-confidence, and influence the decisions of others.

Of course, poor public speaking skills can harm your image, stifle your career opportunities, and even keep you “stuck” in both your professional life and your personal life.  Let’s make sure this doesn’t happen to you.  We’re here to be your resource, and to make it practical and even fun!
