Leadership presence is that elusive quality that sets you up for the next promotion and gives your career an extra boost. It's a blending of personal and interpersonal communication skills that when combined, send all the right signals. It's the impact you make when you show up and contribute in meetings. It's knowing how to project confidence and keep your poise under pressure. It's the ability to present your ideas decisively, assertively, and succinctly. It's the way you influence and engage others by being authentic, empathetic, and motivational. It's relaxing into your unique brand of charisma. It's using body language signals to help others see you as the talented leader you truly are.
Developing a strong leadership presence hinges on effective impression management. As one accomplished leader once shared, "You must show up each day in the way you wish to be perceived." While this may seem straightforward, it can be challenging to achieve without thorough self-reflection and understanding.
