Leadership Presence 1-day English

A lot of presentations take place in an informal setting. You present yourself at the coffee machine, you convince while talking to colleagues or you create confidence in meetings. On all these occasions you present yourself and convince by your personal presentation. Sometimes your appearance is less effective than you would like. This training teaches you how to come across as competent and sympathetic without having to behave like an actor.

Manage your presence

Sometimes your presence is less effective than you would like. For example, you may be an absolute expert in your field, but receive feedback that you need to put yourself outthere more because you are 'too invisible'. Or you may be a nice and modest person, but colleagues find you arrogant or aloof. If you come across as insufficiently warm and competent, the unpleasant consequence will be that you evoke resistance or are not taken seriously.

Because how you come across is so decisive for your effectiveness, it is important that you manage your presence. During this Leadership Presence training you will discover how others perceive you. You get an analysis of your appearance and we point out what works well and what does not. Together we determine what your objective is. How do you want to come across? Which aspects of your professionalism remain underexposed and which do you absolutely not want to lose?

This analysis will increase your insight enormously; you will finally understand why people react to you in a certain way. Then we will show what you can do to optimize your appearance. This allows you to make adjustments to your appearance without losing authenticity. The result is that you create more influence and support.

This training is suitable for ambitious professionals who want to accelerate their career by strengthening their self-presentation.
