Session: Return to Work With Presence
After multiple years of the pandemic WFH life, the thought of returning to an office can be daunting. While we did it for decades before COVID, suddenly being thrust back into in-person meetings in conference rooms, navigating a corporate culture, random (yet impactful) water-cooler talk, and even dressing like a leader can feel like skills we haven't practiced in quite a long while.
This is where executive presence comes in. Executive presence as how you speak, how you act, and how you look. Using concepts from executive presence coaching, you can get rid of distractions, gain confidence, and let your essence shine through. That is what lets you command a room and what makes people listen when you talk.
Start your renewed back-at-the-office life with a jumpstart! In this workshop, you'll learn:
- What executive presence is and how it showcases your essence as a leader
- Why those who say that executive presence cannot be learned are wrong
- The 3 pillars of executive presence and how to apply them immediately
- 3 key tips for standing out (in a good way!) in your office
