Executive Presence
In the ever-evolving landscape of leadership, one thing remains constant: the profound importance of executive presence. As leaders, our presence has the power to shape perceptions, inspire trust, and command respect.
Today, I want to delve into why executive presence is crucial for our impact and how I can help you elevate yours.
The High Cost of the Lack of Executive Presence
When we lack leadership/executive presence, especially when giving a speech, participating in a debate, or leading a team, the cost is high.
Consider the recent Presidential debate where Biden's performance, despite his accomplishments, fell short due to his lack of executive presence.
The consequences were significant:
❌ Lost respect
❌ Eroded authority
❌ Diminished gravitas
❌ Reduced command
❌ Waning engagement
❌ Decreased trust
❌ Compromised integrity
Biden's opponent, despite a discourse spewed with lies, had something Biden lacked—presence and command.
This stark contrast highlights how much we need to care about our presence as leaders.
Our posture, visibility, and energetics play a pivotal role in how we are perceived and how effectively we lead.
Commanding Presence: A Woman's Superpower
Imagine a woman whose presence fills the room like sunlight streaming through a window. She exudes an aura of "I've got this" that is contagious. Her outfit showcases her authority with a feminine flair, and her demeanor is part boardroom, part block party.
When she speaks, it's with the clarity and confidence of a TED Talk speaker, yet with a relatable, authentic touch. Her gestures command attention, and her charisma and approachability make everyone think, "When I grow up, I want to be just like her."
Watching Jessica Pearson in "Suits," I see the embodiment of command—making tough decisions with confidence and communicating effectively in high-stakes situations. This is the essence of leadership presence that I help women cultivate.
As a former image consultant and now a Leadership Elevation Strategist, I help women align their leadership posture with their values, expertise, role, and vision, and a critical component of that is their presence.
The New Era of Executive Presence
The landscape of leadership is shifting and the rules of executive presence are evolving which makes it an exciting time for women in leadership roles.
Executive presence is not just about command and authority like it was in the old days. Traits like authenticity, empathy, and inclusivity are taking center stage now.
This shift aligns perfectly with the strengths many women naturally possess. As heart-centered leaders, our ability to connect deeply, think creatively, and lead with empathy is now recognized as the gold standard of executive presence.
The old ways of leading—marked by rigidity and control—are increasingly viewed as toxic.
In contrast, leading with compassion and inclusivity opens doors to new possibilities and drives meaningful change. Your unique qualities are your greatest assets. Embrace them fully.
