Improving Your Executive Presence
Show Notes

You know it when you see it, but what exactly IS executive presence? In this episode, Dale and Greg discuss their journey to finally understanding Executive Presence and, more importantly, how to coach their clients to achieve it.

Key concepts in this episode include

  • The science-based definition of Executive Presence developed by Suzanne Bates led to a better understanding of how to coach it.
  • Suzanne’s book, “All the Leader You Can Be: The Science of Achieving Extraordinary Executive Presence,” dovetails with Turpin’s work beautifully.
  • There are three dimensions and 15 facets of Executive Presence.
  • The observable behaviors of Executive Presence are what make it coachable.
  • Sometimes our intentions do not match others’ perceptions. 
  • Growing self-awareness around how our presence is being perceived can help us flex our style and avoid knee-jerk reactions in a variety of situations.
  • Too much of a strength can have a negative impact on the people we work with.
  • Emotional Intelligence plays a role in Executive Presence.
