How leaders are perceived by those around them greatly impacts their effectiveness.

Our perceptions of a leader impact our choices, actions, and attitudes in regard to the individual leader, their ideas, and the organization at large. The more visible a leader is in an organization, the more attention must be paid to the perception others have of that leader. 

Unfortunately, perceptions don’t always reflect reality. A highly competent leader may struggle in one or two key areas, leading people to perceive their skills as less than what they are. Luckily, Executive Presence and Influence skills, just like leadership skills, can be learned. 

Join host Daniel Stewart and special guest Erin Ellis for the next Leadership Growth Hour as they discuss the four key areas leaders must focus on developing if they want to be seen as a credible leader. 

During this episode of The Leadership Growth Hour, we’ll discuss:

• Why Executive Presence matters.
• The four key building blocks of a great Executive Presence
• Key areas of focus of leaders who want to improve how they show up include creating great first impressions, projecting confidence, communicating effectively, and delivering powerful presentations.
• How effective decision-making influences the perceptions employees have of leaders and specific decision-making strategies anyone can immediately put into action to improve their leadership presence.
• The role of emotions and emotional intelligence in Executive Presence,
• and how leaders can present themselves, both verbally and non-verbally, to create an inspiring environment for others.

As always, expect to hear practical tips and ideas you can implement immediately to build your own Executive Presence and the leadership presence of high-potential leaders within your organization.
