Executive Presence Model

Convey Confidence and Capability

The Stewart Leadership Executive Presence Model is designed to empower leaders with the tools and resources needed to be seen as a credible leader while strengthening the ability to influence others. Our model goes beyond the outdated understanding of Executive Presence as having mainly to do with a leader’s appearance, and instead focuses on four key areas: how you show up, how you decide, how you manage emotion, and how you inspire others.
