Executive presence is more than how you look or speak; it's about how you make others feel and the clarity with which you communicate your value. Whether you’re advocating for your ideas, navigating transitions, or positioning yourself for the next level, how you show up can be just as important as what you bring to the table. Join us for a candid fireside chat, where you’ll learn how to present yourself as a compelling leader, communicate with clarity and authority, and build trust through every professional interaction. We’ll explore what executive presence really looks like, how to build it over time, and how to show up powerfully in the moments that matter most. This is not a lecture, it’s a real conversation about confidence, visibility, and the unspoken rules of leadership.
