Course Description
How can you make sure that your leadership presence is perfect? For starters, it’s a good idea to pay attention to how you speak and what you say. It's important to find a means to express your confidence, because it will show in both your verbal and nonverbal communication. Also, the underappreciated leadership ability of listening is critical for leadership. If you can't develop your listening skills, you'll have trouble leading and being seen as a leader. And a leader who doesn't listen, or doesn’t look like they’re listening, may discourage employees from speaking up.
In these lessons on Perfecting Your Executive Presence, we'll discuss how you can leverage your communication to make sure that other people see you as a leader. We’ll talk about how you can tailor your vocabulary to express more confidence, as well as how listening to your employees can create a culture of trust. We’ll also talk about how helping your own employees succeed can help to increase your executive presence.
