Building credibility through executive presence

Learn how to make your communication expertise visible and use it to project confidence in leadership encounters.

This workshop focuses on Executive Presence as a core capability for successfully advising and negotiating with senior stakeholders across the business. To grow as a communicator, it’s not enough to be a comms expert – you must know how to make that expertise visible and use it to project confidence in your leadership encounters. In this workshop you will:

  • Understand what Executive Presence is and why it matters.
  • Get specific about the markers that make up Executive Presence and how you can develop each one.
  • Reflect on your own Executive Presence and consider how it impacts whether business partners see you as credible, confident, and trustworthy.
  • Discover how you can use AI as an objective ‘mirror’, helping you spot habits you may be unaware of.
  • Learn the neurobiology of stress and how it can derail you in the moment.
  • Create a personal plan to ensure you keep developing your Executive Presence over time through intentional practice.

Every Kademy course blends on-demand learning with live workshops, combining the flexibility of self-paced study with the energy of live discussion, practice and peer learning.

Pre-work

Approximately one week before the course you’ll get access to the Kademy learning platform. You’ll be able to meet your trainer and fellow participants, explore key resources, and complete some short pre-reading activities. Taking this time in advance will ensure you arrive ready to contribute and get the most out of the workshop experience.

Live workshop

In this workshop, you’ll explore Executive Presence as a core capability for career progression. Using Kademy’s model, you’ll examine the three dimensions of Executive Presence and reflect on your own current level of impact, before creating a personal action plan to ensure your business partners see you as credible, confident, and trustworthy. You’ll also explore how stress can derail Executive Presence, identify when your personal stress patterns occur, and learn five evidence-based techniques to stay grounded and on track.

Follow-up

Finally, you’ll receive follow-up materials to continue your learning and have the opportunity to complete a quiz to earn your Certificate of Completion.

This was a very useful course that really made me think inwardly about how I ‘show-up’ with leaders in this business. It has given me tools to help prepare for conversations that I know I will use again.
