In this video, I dive into a topic that is often discussed but not always fully understood: executive presence. You might want to get promoted! And as gatekeepers of talent and culture, HR plays a pivotal role in identifying and developing leaders who have this quality. We can also help others develop it because it’s a competency (or a collection of competencies).

This was the focus of my conversation with Stephan Wiedner, CEO of Noomii and COO & Co-Founder at Skillsetter. With his team, they have developed a way of measuring it and then helping leaders develop it. I discovered I have an image in mind when it comes to executive presence and it’s someone who is tall, white, and male. So I appreciated having my horizons expanded:

3⃣ Executive presence is based on three characteristics and anyone can possess them.

Most leaders rely on their expertise to lead but that is limiting.

You need to flex your various ‘muscles’ that help you have executive presence depending on the situation.

We talk about attractiveness, but you don’t need botox.
