Intended for:
These Executive Presence training course materials have been developed for everyone in your organisation who might be great at their jobs but are missing opportunities because they are not able to represent themselves effectively. They might be lacking in confidence and unable to assert themselves, or, they may be too forward and come across as aggressive without showing empathy to people within their teams or project groups.
This training course will help build your participants self-awareness and shine a spotlight on how they can develop an authentic personal brand which will help them succeed in the future.
Training course contents:
As we progress through our careers, how we portray ourselves becomes more and more critical to our success in business. We often think that executive presence is a magical quality, and that top leaders are born with it. This is not the case and it is a skill that can be developed, along with the confidence to show authenticity in our leadership style.
These training course materials have been designed to help your participants break down what exactly executive presence means to them and their personal image, whilst they hone their personal brand, gravitas and communication skills.
Why is running this executive presence course a good idea?
Well, just imagine if your participants were better able to:
- Define the meaning of executive presence, and measure themselves against this
- Think about and develop an effective personal brand
- Build gravitas by working on their confidence & emotional intelligence
- Understand different communication methods which will help deliver messages in the right way
- Show assertiveness through a simple technique, and avoid passive or aggressive behaviour
- Explore a vision which will engage their teams, allowing for success in the future
