Mindful Leadership Presence
Are you aware of how you are showing up with your direct reports, support staff, clients, and other stakeholders? Do you know how they perceive you?
Most professionals and managers will likely agree that "leadership presence” is a desirable trait in leaders, something you wish to possess. Leadership presence is indeed known to elevate your relationships within and outside your organization and it increases your chances of delivering results and of being successful. What does mindful leadership presence look like and what are its components?
Leadership presence is not a checklist, template, or one-size-fits-all. It’s personal, it’s influenced by your context, and it’s a journey. This webinar addresses proven and practical ways for you to strengthen your leadership presence.
During this webinar we learned:
- how to maximize strong first impressions and convey confidence in a mindful manner.
