The Three Pillars
Executive Presence is built on three pillars: Your style, your substance, and your character.
Style
-
Style Introduction
Style is the 'how of your communication'. This section will talk about the simple techniques you can master to display your confidence, enthusiasm, and ease.
-
Audience is a Mirror
New research points to something important. We are wired to connect with, learn from, and be affected by the people around us.
-
Mind/Body Connection is a Two Way Street
The mind-body connection is a two-way street. Feeling self-assured leads to open body language and a confident voice.
-
Energy
Energy is the key to delivering your message in a way that stimulates the people around you.
-
Tone
We have a massive vocal range at our disposal but much of the time we use only a tiny percentage of it.
-
Economy
Functional MRI’s reveal that simpler language stimulates more parts of the listener’s brain than typical business waffling.
-
Breathe
Breath couldn’t be more important in our ability to communicate. It not only keeps us alive but is the fuel for a confident sounding voice.
-
Clarity, Articulation, Projection, Pace
One of the clearest signals of your presence as a leader is the vocal clarity of your message: your projection, your pace, and your articulation.
-
Eye Contact and Body Focus
'Always look them in the eye'. We associate relaxed and sustained eye contact with people who are telling the truth.
-
Body Language, Posture, Gestures, Stillness

-
Practice and Preparation
We’ve all heard the saying 'practice makes perfect'. But in this case, perfection isn’t the goal. Authenticity is…
Character
-
Character Introduction
Character is the foundation of your presence. It’s the sum total of you: your values, beliefs, talents, and formative experiences.
-
Authenticity
Authenticity is important because if we're all style, and no substance, some might say we are just an 'empty suit'.
-
Emergence Arc 1 - Victories
The path to leadership is rarely a straight line. It’s full of twists and turns, highs and lows, triumphs and challenges. This is called your Emergence Arc.
-
Emergence Arc 2 - Setbacks
Failure should be our teacher but it can be painful to look closely at. But reframing and communicating your failures can have unexpected benefits.
-
Values
When the going gets tough, we’re often fighting or fleeing and may not be in alignment with our values, as we simply try to survive the situation.
-
Integrity
Mahatma Gandhi famously said, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are all in Harmony.”
Substance
-
Substance Introduction
In this section we’ll talk about the importance of Storytelling, and how to Structure a story in a way that is engaging and inspiring.
-
Storytelling Structure
This is a very hot topic in business right now. The ability to turn your message into a compelling Story is key to influencing or inspiring others to act.
-
Storytelling Tools
This film looks at some tools that will help make the story even more engaging: Sensory language, Emotional language, and I-Present Language.
-
Listening
We have to know how to listen, when to stop talking and when to take the focus off ourselves and put it onto the other person.
-
Empathy
Empathy is the ability to put yourself in another person’s shoes and to identify with the feelings they may have, and adapt your message accordingly.
