Experienced executives exhibit “executive presence,” a general expression used to describe the element of leadership.
An image makeover has assisted countless employees in gaining the managerial importance necessary to climb higher up the corporate ladder. Hair style, apparel, accessories and makeup changes can increase self confidence, generating quicker approval of your concepts by senior management.
Professionals with presence act self confident, focused, definitive and assertive. Presence is more important then ever as organizations cope with a slow recovery and less management layers. You have less time to create that lasting impression.
Many large companies recently introduced services to train driven employees on executive presence. Intel has created a course known as Command Presence. This interactive course is developed for middle level women wanting to improve their self confidence when presenting during meetings in order to acquire greater respect and acceptance in the workplace.
What are some ways you can improve your presence? To start, you should identify your strengths and weaknesses. Most employees are blind to their greatest negatives.
You can discover more insights by maintaining a journal centered on observations of executives with well-respected presence. Mimic their actions that feel comfortable and normal for you such as looking the board members alternately directly in the eyes while replying to their questions clearly and slowly.
Professional assistance may produce an even larger impact. Professional assistance can vary from intensive consultations with an executive trainer to voice lessons, presentation classes and even improv acting sessions.
If you possess a relaxing manner individuals who do not know you can overlook your work ethics and motivation. To fix this misperception work on avoiding a monotone in instructing your employees, sit up straight during meetings and show strong self confidence at a conference table by laying out your territory with a water bottle and notebook. Additionally you could wave your hand a bit instead of nodding your head in agreement while another colleague is talking to indicate you understand. Nodding your head can sometimes indicate a gesture of deference.
Co-workers also recognize imperfections in your executive presence but it is often difficult to receive honest feedback. You need to take the accountability to ask. Try to ask for your colleagues’ observation following your presentations.
Additional Suggestions To Enhance Your Executive Presence:
• Take a seat on a hand if you gesture too much
• Prevent interruptions by counting to three prior to responding
• Stand or sit big to display you occupy space
• Do not hold your arms behind your back since you will appear deceitful
• Work on a firm handshake
