010: Do You Know How to Enhance the Power of Your Leadership Presence?

Develop a leadership presence that fuels credibility, respect, and influence

Today we have the privilege of hearing from Janet Taggart, a personal leadership brand strategist who specializes in helping leaders in growth-oriented companies succeed in dynamic and complex environments. Our discussion focuses on developing a key element of your personal leadership brand—gravitas. 

Do you carry yourself in a way that predisposes others to not just like you, but to respect you?

Establishing a credible leadership presence requires you to be intentional in how you present yourself. It is not enough to be likable or charismatic. As a leader, the essence of who you are internally should manifest externally and command respect. 

Without leadership presence, you’ll have difficulty gaining attention for your ideas and obtaining buy-in on your proposals. And, you may struggle to earn the trust and proactive energy of those around you. 

How can you ensure your demeanor and approach give your experience credibility and that your ideas carry weight? 

Today we’ll talk about…

• [00:01:30]: Your leadership presence establishes gravitas

• [00:02:41]: You can be well-liked but not well-respected. Why?

• [00:04:28]: The question executives are asking themselves about you as they consider having you join them in the executive suite

• [00:06:17]: How the tone of your voice and your delivery plays into gravitas

• [00:05:55]: Does your language, demeanor, dress, and presence match your personal leadership brand?

• [00:07:35]: Analogy of polishing the silver, not changing the silver

As you tune in, you’ll learn how to show up in a way that garners respect, buy-in, and influence.
