Executive Presence

Have you ever heard people talking about "executive presence" and wondered how to get it? Have you ever thought about what "executive presence" really means?  Most people either don't know how to define it ("you know it when you see it") or are vague ("it's when someone owns the room"). Executive Presence is hard to define, hard to teach, and has a lot of subjectivity. However, if you focus on building skills in 5 areas, you'll be well on your way! In this interactive workshop, presentation and communications coach, Melissa Schwartz, will share her PREPP model and provide clarity around what executive presence is and help you improve yours.
