Mini-masterclass with Powrsuit co-founders Nat and Kristen.
Fun fact: a lot of Powrsuiters have been told they ‘need to build more executive presence’. That kind of vague and unactionable ‘feedback’ can really harm our confidence and careers. The term itself is loaded with bias, but that doesn’t mean we can’t develop the combination of traits that make up executive presence: gravitas, communication and appearance.
While most of us can’t pinpoint what it is, we know executive presence when we see it. People with executive presence convey power and influence – they come across as serious and capable of handling themselves in senior leadership’s complex, high-pressure world.
⭐ What it is and why it matters: The label may be abstract and subjective, but the definition is evolving and still an important component of leadership.
⭐ Three key characteristics: How gravitas, communication skills and appearance combine to convey executive presence.
⭐ Dos and don’ts: Tips for conveying executive presence – and pitfalls that can undermine trust in your leadership abilities.
