Executive Presence That Builds Credibility: Be Seen for the Right Reasons
On-demand recording
60 minutes | INSTRUCTOR-LED TRAINING
Program Summary
In our interactive instructor-led 60-minute event, you will learn a practical framework for building the kind of presence that opens doors. Executive presence has always been hard to define and harder to teach. For women in the workplace, it carries an extra layer of complexity: the behaviors rewarded in men are often penalized in women, and the advice to “just be more confident” ignores how much context shapes perception.
This session cuts through the noise to focus on what works. You will learn how presence translates differently across in-person, virtual, and hybrid environments, how to align your visible behavior with your leadership goals so the right people see the right things, and how to build influence without the exhaustion that comes from constantly performing visibility.
You’ll discover the following:
- How to project confidence and credibility in both virtual and in-person settings without changing who you are
- Specific adjustments that make a measurable difference on camera, in chat, and in hybrid meetings
- Ways to align your day-to-day behavior with your longer-term leadership goals
- Techniques for increasing your visibility without the fatigue that comes from constant self-promotion
