Personal Presentation 2-days English (Leadership Presence)

Many presentations take place in the corridors or at the table. You profile yourself at the coffee machine, you convince during the meeting or you create trust in meetings. On all these occasions you present yourself and convince through your personal presentation. Sometimes your appearance is less effective than you would like. This training teaches you how to come across as knowledgeable and sympathetic without having to act.

Manage your appearance

Sometimes your appearance is less effective than you would like. For example, you may be an absolute expert in your field, but you are still told that you need to present yourself more firmly because you are 'too invisible'. Or you may be nice and modest, but you are accused of coming across as arrogant or distant. If you do not come across as warm and competent enough, it has the unfortunate consequence that you provoke resistance or are not taken seriously.

Because your self-presentation is so decisive for your effectiveness, it is important that you get a grip on its management. During this Personal Presentation training you will discover how you come across to others. You will receive an analysis of your appearance and we will identify what works well and what does not. Together we will then determine what your objective is. How do you want to come across? Which aspects of your professionalism are currently underexposed and which do you absolutely not want to lose?

This analysis will greatly increase your insight; all sorts of things will drop about why people react to you in a certain way. We will then show you which buttons you can turn to optimize your appearance. This will allow you to make adjustments without sacrificing 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 image.
