Executive Presence and Influence
1-Day Workshop (8 Hours) | Face-to-Face
Programme Overview
Technical competence earns a manager their seat. Executive presence determines whether they get heard. This programme targets the specific skills that distinguish managers who influence from those who merely inform: reading a boardroom, structuring a recommendation that lands, managing hostile questions, and building cross-functional coalitions. Designed for high-potential leaders who are ready to operate at the next level.
Who Should Attend
High-potential managers and newly promoted directors preparing to operate at senior leadership level — particularly those who are technically excellent but have received feedback that their communication, gravitas, or stakeholder influence needs to match their expertise.
Key Learning Outcomes
- Read room dynamics during high-stakes meetings and adapt communication in real time
- Structure concise, compelling executive summaries that drive decisions
- Apply evidence-based influence strategies across departments and seniority levels
- Project credibility and composure under pressure, including in confrontational settings
- Build a coalition of support for strategic initiatives before entering the room
Capstone Activity
A video-recorded simulation in which each participant presents a controversial budget request to a ‘board of directors’ played by peers — fielding pushback, hostile questions, and competing priorities. Structured coaching and playback follow each presentation.
