What is executive presence, anyway?

- Ask people what executive presence is and you'll get at least a dozen different answers. Ask people how to get executive presence and you're likely to get no answer. Or maybe they just look at you weirdly. The thing is, executive presence isn't some mystical quality. It's not an it factor either. This isn't something you're born with. But you need it. So how do you get it? Well first you have to learn exactly what it is. Executive presence is the ability to project authority, to communicate with confidence and authenticity. This is a must-have skill for any aspiring leader, manager, or executive. In this course, we'll go over how executive presence has to do with three things, self-confidence, or how you act, self-expression, how you talk, and self-presentation, looking the part.
