You may have a leadership title, or tremendous leadership potential, but that alone won’t bless you with leadership presence. Instead, your presence depends entirely on how others evaluate you. Looking like — and being perceived as — a leader, when you interact with customers, peers, and executives, is the essence of leadership presence.
Since your leadership presence depends wholly on the impression you make, enhancing this presence demands a deep understanding of the impact of your appearance, your body language, your emotional state, and how well you to communicate key messages.
Women face unique challenges when it comes to being perceived as leaders. Some may even add to such challenges by buying into to the Imposter Syndrome, sending nonverbal signals that make them look less than they are, or waiting silently for others to recognize and reward their achievements.
The Power of Presence for Women Who Lead arms existing and emerging female leaders with tips and strategies to take control of the impression they make, and to build and refine impact and influence skills — so they’re seen as the leaders they authentically are.
