Executive Presence: Strengthening Professionalism

This confidential and personalized program is led by a highly qualified expert coach who guides participants through the identification and strengthening of behaviors critical for growing influence, strengthening self-confidence and projecting a clear professional brand. 

Executive Presence isn’t just for executives. It’s for any professional interested in assessing and strengthening their confidence, authenticity, verbal and non-verbal communication skills, and the behaviors and qualities that determine how others perceive you.

The program is delivered in six 90-minute Skype sessions, combined with a series of self-development activities (to be provided by the coach) to be completed between the sessions. All participants will complete a total of 56 hours of program time, including calls, guided activities and individual investigation.  The program must be completed within 12 months. Typical program completion time is 3 months.

Participants should expect an intense feedback and guidance program that focuses on further developing key “presence” strengths and cultivating the right behaviors to fill gaps and eliminate weaknesses. 

While the program is tailored to each individual, common topics include:

  • Self and external assessment of how others perceive your communication and professional style and behaviors.

  • Identification of your core professional value proposition.

  • Identification of and focused work on key limiting factors and perceived negatives with your professional/executive presence.

  • Ability to recognize and develop effective strategies for high value and high risk communication situations.

  • Strengthening your ability to deal with difficult discussions via feedback.

  • Ensuring your body language and non-verbal behaviors support your brand message.

  • Strengthening networking and relationship building skills to extend your influence.

  • Learning to better communicate with empathy and authenticity, and to project a sense of self-confidence.

  • Establishing a program of continuous improvement beyond this coaching program.
