Executive Presence

A few years ago, I walked into a boardroom full of senior leaders - heart pounding, palms slightly damp, rehearsing every word I planned to say.

I had the credentials. I had the results. But I didn’t yet have the presence.

That day, I learned something powerful: executive presence isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room - it’s about being the most grounded one.

Now, I teach women how to embody that same quiet power - not by becoming someone else, but by becoming more of who they already are.

What is Executive Presence

Executive presence is the energy you bring before you even speak.

It’s how you carry yourself, how you communicate, and how you make others feel in your presence.

It’s not about perfection.

It’s about authentic confidence, clarity, and calm - especially when the stakes are high.

Why it Matters

You can be the most competent person in the room - but if you don’t look and sound like a leader, you’ll be overlooked.

Executive presence is the bridge between your potential and your perception.

It’s what gets you invited to the table - and what keeps you there.

For high-achieving women, this isn’t just about career growth.

It’s about being seen, heard, and respected for who you truly are.

How to Build it: 5 Powerful Shifts

1. Set the Tone Before You Speak
Before you enter a room or open your mouth, ask: “What energy do I want to bring?”
Lead with calm confidence - it’s more magnetic than volume.

2. Own Your Pauses
Silence isn’t awkward - it’s powerful.
A well-timed pause signals thoughtfulness and control.

3. Speak in Headlines
Start with your point, then explain.
Busy people don’t need a story - they need clarity.

4. Hold Your Posture Like You Belong
Your body speaks before you do.
Stand tall, grounded, and open - like you own the room (because you do).

5. Ask Powerful Questions
Presence isn’t just about talking - it’s about listening with impact.
Ask questions that shift the room and spark insight.

If this resonated, it’s not by accident. You’re ready to be seen. To lead. To rise.
