When you walk into a room can people feel your dynamic energy and presence? Do you have the ability to build positive relationships fast and with ease? Do you have the confidence to step up and be more visible so you can move forward with your career goals.
Executive Presence is a powerful workshop that explores the skills, attributes and behaviours needed to succeed in a corporate environment.
Those who develop executive presence have a greater sense of self and the skills to develop and maintain positive relationships with those around them. Executive presence is not about being the most outgoing and gregarious person in the room, it's about having the confidence to step forward with authenticity, personal style and charisma.
This workshop is suitable for those who need more confidence to step up, step out and be more visible for career advancement.
Relevant handouts and training materials will be provided for all attendees

Although I have immersed myself in powerful presenting for over 30 years, I recently completed my master’s research which dug deeper into leadership communication and storytelling in a business context. There was much discussion and debate about what defines an expert and who I could reference during my research. It really got me thinking about […]
No need to avoid presenting any longer You have been asked to present at your next industry conference. Woohoo!! Or maybe not. The thought of standing in front of 400 people is terrifying and the self-talk starts in your head. I have no idea how to put together a presentation, what was I thinking? No […]
No-one is born with engaging meeting, training or presenting skills. Unfortunately, many employees find themselves standing in front of a room full of their work colleagues at the morning toolbox meeting feeling nervous, inadequate and poorly equipped to handle the disengaged audience in front of them. There is an art, science and skill to running […]
Over the last few weeks, in response to the Corona Virus, we have seen an unprecedented surge of online meetings and presentations. For some organisations the availability of technology has been a lifesaver or business saver and for others it has created a new playground for wasted time, unproductive meetings and risky brand strategy.

The one when the audience went really quiet after you spoke then everyone avoided any eye contact with you. The one when you felt so embarrassed and wondered what on earth went wrong. You planned, you rehearsed your presentation and you […]
THE RISE OF FOLLOWERSHIP In Praise of Followers – Robert Kelley stated in his Harvard Business Review article that effective followers are well-balanced and responsible adults who can succeed without strong leadership. I never really considered ‘followership’ as a leadership theory. In fact, many do not consider followership as a leadership theory at all. I […]
Thanks to neuroscience we have learned a lot over the past few years about just how powerful stories can be. We now know which brain chemicals cause us to pay attention and which chemicals help us to connect with others. A great story releases a rush of brain chemicals like Cortisol (which helps you to […]
