How to develop Executive Presence - one moment at a time

Do you know how some people manage to own the room? Do you enjoy speaking up, only to be ignored and feel invisible?

Perhaps you’ve read a book, taken training, or watched YouTube tutorials on Executive Presence. You go to implement the advice and you may notice a slight improvement, but you realize none of it leads to the command presence you are looking for.

There may be other times when you are not really even trying, but everyone is looking to you to lead. Your recommendations are met with nods of approval. Others look to you to validate their ideas and next steps.

What is going on here? What makes the difference? Is it just luck or random circumstance that you have no Executive Presence in some situations and lots to spare in others? Why is the mechanism that generates Executive Presence so elusive?

What if you could simply press a button and generate Executive Presence on the spot? Would that be useful for your career?

If you don’t understand how Executive Presence is generated, you’re leaving it to chance whether anything you do will generate it. This means if you only spend time on how you look, sound, and stand, this won’t be enough.

To generate Executive Presence people must feel a very specific way about you.

Executive Presence is the ability to inspire confidence that you can lead in a given situation.

Notice how this is an ever-changing scenario. Each situation may require a different approach. Each group, in fact, each individual in the group, will form their own opinion about how they feel about you. And each person, you, or me, or your leaders, will have different skills and abilities they can bring to bear.

Once you start to understand what is going on, and how Executive Presence is truly generated, you begin to see why most books, training, or video tutorials will not help you. Executive Presence is dynamic. A list of to-do’s is not.

So what can you do?

To help those who are serious about improving their Executive Presence I’ve created a free tool - the Executive Presence Generator.

It’s easy to use and gets to the heart of creating Executive Presence. Each time you click the button, a different question is generated. Each question looks at a facet of what creates Executive Presence. To put a finer point on it, each question asks you how you can enter a state of being that will demonstrate your ability to lead in a given moment.
