Leaders “take up a lot of space,” says Peter Stewart.

What leaders do in that space can be the difference between great business and people results–and bad ones.

In today’s episode, Daniel and Peter tackle the topic of executive presence–how it’s evolved over the years, what it means today, and how leaders can develop and improve it so they show up with credibility and confidence.

Tune in to learn:

  • What a modern model of Executive Presence looks like
  • How decision-making impacts Executive Presence
  • The one thing leaders can do to establish professional credibility

Executive Presence is about more than just what a leader wears to work. “It’s how you show up as a leader,” says Daniel. Leaders of any age, gender, and personality can develop a well-rounded presence that gets business results and people results.
