PDF Webinar: Executive Presence for Diverse Young Professionals with André Alphonso

Professional Development Forum

• Are you struggling to influence others to act?
• Do you find it difficult to show up with the confidence and self-belief you need?
• Are you challenged to express thoughts and feelings appropriately to deliver one congruent message that motivates others?
• Are you living based on the expectations of others?

Many of the smartest people in organisations may be coming up short of their full potential—not because they lack intelligence or technical proficiency, but because they haven’t developed the executive presence to deliver their message with clarity and conviction.

Moreover we often end up going through life wearing masks to hide who we truly are. This affects our ability to have an impact on others, build authentic relationships and over time losing our identities - the real ‘you’.

Executive Presence is the ability to connect authentically with the hearts and minds of others in order to motivate and inspire them to achieve a desired outcome.

André will use his personal stories and experiences to take us through the importance of executive presence, how he rediscovered his authentic self after removing the masks and in turn inspiring and influencing others through his own presence.

You will leave this session with practical strategies that you can apply to enhance your presence, communicate effectively to have your voice heard and connect authentically with others.
