Attendees will be inspired to own their career by improving qualities and skills related to executive presence.
Women are told to “lean in,” “DRiVE” and put on their “bossypants” to achieve success in the working world. Cultural perceptions that associate men with leadership qualities and women with nurturing qualities put women in a tough spot when it's time to command a room and influence an audience. We discuss how presence is made up of three essential elements: gravitas (how you act), communication (how you talk) and perceived identity (how you look). Get tips for making a great first impression, staying engaged during meetings and showcasing confidence in all that you do. Learn best practices for keeping your cool under pressure and exhibiting the type of decisiveness needed to succeed.
