Defining what Executive Presence IS can be a moving target.
I have captured some critical skills below. Where could you raise awareness or skills? How can you get feedback on these items?
1. Emotional Intelligence & Emotional Awareness – Are you in check? Are your emotions guiding your behavior in interactions?
2. Clear Vision & Purpose – What are you about? Who are you serving?
3. Active & Empathetic Listening – Are you listening deeply? Can you understand other’s perspectives?
4. Succinct & Focused Communication – Are you communicating valuable, relevant information aligned to what you’ve heard and what you’re trying to achieve?
5. Influence & Persuasion - Have you identified the right stakeholders and resources to achieve your goals? How do you keep those relationships warm?
