Executive presence is a blending of temperament, competencies, and skills that, when combined, send all the right signals. Leaders know they must embody executive presence to get ahead, influence others, and drive results
2. WHAT IS EXECUTIVE
PRESENCE?
Executive presence can mean different things. It is important
to ensure you have a behavioral understanding of this term.
This will allow you to have a definition of what to work
towards.
In the purest sense executive presence is the ability to be in
the center of the room without hogging all the attention.
Humility and humbleness create a balance between knowing
and sharing expertise.

8. EXECUTIVE PRESENCE DO’S:
Do what you believe is right in the face of controversy.
Be vulnerable. Step outside what is comfortable to risk the unknown.
Have the humility to admit your mistakes and learn from them.
Don’t need outside validation. Your internal satisfaction and self-
acceptance are enough.
Give away the glory because the goal was a team goal and you’d have
never achieved it without them.

yourself and people’s perceptions of ou without feeling
judged. This free book – Be the New Smart Leader
Workbook shows you how to have unflappable grace and
certainty without all the stress.
• Accept compliments graciously. “Thank you. I’m pleased you
find it useful.”
• Notice self-doubt and act anyway as opposed to waiting for
perfection. Done is better than perfect.
• Let go of something whose time has passed. It doesn’t serve
you. Do this by turning toward the discomfort and not away.
Name it. Own it. And retire it or it will keep chasing you down.

10. EXECUTIVE PRESENCE DON’TS :
• Modify your behavior based on what other people think.
• Play it safe, freeze or lash out when you feel judged,
hold back because it “isn’t fair,” or “not the right time” and
avoid risk.
• Deny mistakes, cover them up, blame others, or hope to
remedy the problem before anyone notices.
• Seek attention and recognition to validate your good
work.
• Brag about your virtues or take the credit for the work of
others.

11. • Dismiss compliments offhandedly because you
don’t feel you deserve them or the attention makes
you uncomfortable.
• Build your executive presence by noticing your
thoughts with routines. Execute mindful choices in
real time. Mindful practices that build presence
include: being able to pause, paying attention to
your breathing pattern for three minutes – “I’m
breathing in. I’m breathing out,” writing two things
you are grateful for each day in a Gratitude
Journal, and setting a daily intention or promise to
yourself – “I will listen before I respond today.”
Your presence starts with your acceptance of
yourself with all your imperfections. You are
capable. You are worthy and belong. You are
effective.EXECUTIVE PRESENCE AND PERSONAL BRANDING
