executive presence & leadership coaching

What makes a business executive look and sound like an executive? There are traits that all C-suite executives have in common. Confidence, competence, leadership, and trust. Top leaders of industry have certain qualities among them that make them stand out. These characteristics include their visual image, self-confidence, how they speak, and how they carry themselves. The sum of the whole defines "leader."

key elements

substance & credibility

Substance and credibility are the foundation of executive presence. The ability to project confidence without arrogance, maintain composure under pressure, make sound, decisive judgments, and command a room with calm, quiet authority.

communication

Strong communication skills mean speaking clearly, concisely, and with impact, while using active listening and emotional intelligence to connect. It’s about influencing across all levels and using powerful storytelling to drive vision, change, and strategy.

emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence is the ability to stay self-aware and regulated, read the room, adjust your energy, and navigate difficult conversations with empathy, sensitivity, and composure.

vision & purpose

Vision and purpose is about seeing the big picture, clearly articulating purpose and future direction, anticipating impact, and aligning others around it. It also involves framing problems and solutions from an executive-level perspective.

services & offerings

All services and offerings are tailored to your particular needs. The initial consultation serves as the basis for determination. Prior to the initial consultation, you'll be asked to fill out a questionnaire to help guide the discussion. From there, I will design a personalized plan for success. Often, clients will want or need overlapping services from other offerings.
