You Will Learn: Leadership Presence / Branding
What You'll Walk Away With
  • How to build presence from the inside out: Why "fake it until you make it" doesn't work
  • What to avoid the communication traps that weaken people's perception of your credibility
  • Identify ways to use body language to look - and feel - more confident
  • How reading and responding to body language make you a more effective leader
You'll also walk away with recognized continuing education credits (CPE and SHRM), a certificate of completion, and a shareable digital badge for LinkedIn or other platforms. These can highlight your expertise to your manager and help strengthen your professional profile.

About This Session

Leadership presence is that elusive quality that sets you up for the next promotion and gives your career an extra boost. It's a blending of verbal and nonverbal communication skills that when combined, sends all the right signals.

  • It's knowing how to project confidence and keep your poise under pressure.
  • It's the ability to present your ideas decisively, assertively, and succinctly.
  • It's influencing and engaging others by being authentic and empathetic.
  • It's using body language signals to help others see you as the talented leader you truly are. 

Instead, leadership presence depends entirely on how other people evaluate you. (It's what they say about you after you've left the room.) While you don't have total control over people's perception, you have more control than you think.

This program is backed by neuroscience and based on research from Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, MIT Media Lab, and Columbia School of Business, this acclaimed and engaging session gives you tips, tools and strategies you can put into action immediately to align other people's perception of you with your authentic best self.
