What is Executive Presence and how is it different from being Inspirational as a leader? For many years clients have asked our executive coaches to help their leaders with their presence and impact, and to have more gravitas. However, Executive Presence is a bit like the dark science of leadership and it eludes many leaders who want to have presence and make a positive impact but they do not know how. Zircon therefore conducted research with nearly 200 leaders to understand the concept of Executive Presence and how we can help leaders communicate with more impact, gravitas and dynamism. In this episode, Angela interviews Amanda to understand the research and to give some real examples of how coaching clients have developed their executive presence.
