You work hard. You deliver results. Yet somehow, it's your peers who seem to get all the recognition and advance, while you're stuck wondering why you're getting left behind. In today's competitive workplace, being good at your job is no longer enough-you need to create an unforgettable presence at all stages of your career.
In this session, we'll discuss the broader concept of professional presence-i.e. how and where you're seen-and how to intentionally shape yours. We'll also take a closer look at executive presence-a key aspect of professional presence-and how it has evolved beyond traditional markers like polished business attire and formal networking events. Today's leaders need to embody authentic leadership, craft a career brand that resonates both online and offline, and build relationships grounded in trust and respect.
