Have you achieved the strategic visibility, credibility, and influence to which you aspire as an executive at your organization? Are you making the impact on the decisions and direction you wish for your enterprise, your career fulfillment, and your envisioned legacy? If not, you are not alone. 

Modern matrixed organizational structures and operations ‒ compounded by hybrid work, geographic expanse, if not global reach, and unrelenting internal and external change ‒ make effective leadership far more complex than ever before. Success in the matrix places a premium on leadership collaboration across functions, teams, groups, geographic boundaries, and stakeholders with different interests and priorities – rendering top-down autocratic command-and-control an archaic leadership model.

This session will equip executives with practical frameworks and tools to assess ways to increase their strategic influence by enhancing executive presence, flexing essential leadership styles, strengthening selected emotional intelligence competencies, and inspiring others.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Define and embody executive presence strategically by understanding the elements of executive presence at the C-suite level and how to project them consistently in high-stakes situations.

2. Understand the power of body language and the silent signals critical to establishing confidence, credibility, and the ability to read others.

3. Leverage your strategic voice to communicate ideas in a compelling, concise, and memorable way that resonates with diverse executive audiences, including board members and peers.

4. Develop strategies to maintain authority, influence, and presence in virtual, hybrid, or cross-cultural environments.
