Like A Boss: Why Executive Presence Matters and How You Can Master ItJennifer McClure
A recent study reported that 81% of business leaders found the concept of executive presence so contradictory and confusing that they don’t know how to act on it; however, having an effective “executive presence” is a determining factor in the ability to impact business strategy, grow your career and influence others.
Credibility, communication, countenance, courage and cultivation are the behavioral competencies honed by all leaders who speak clearly, ask mindful questions and have maximum influence in an organization.

Very often we use the word team work in our organizational context without perhaps fully understanding what we mean by teamwork.
An effective team requires the participation of every member in order to be successful. When one person cannot accomplish a job alone and several individuals must cooperate to fulfill a mission, you need a team. The better the cooperation, communication and coordination among members, the more efficient the team.
Emotional intelligence taps into a fundamental element of human behaviour that is distinct from your intellect.The communication between your emotional and rational ?brains? is the physical source of emotional intelligence.
The pathway for emotional intelligence starts in the brain, at the spinal cord. Your primary senses enter here and must travel to the front of your brain before you can think rationally about your experience.The awareness that emotional intelligence has become an important job skill, even surpassing technical ability, has been growing over the last number of years.As teamwork becomes increasingly important in the workplace, people who are able to understand, get along with and work well with others will become increasingly sought after. Highly emotionally intelligent people have well developed people skills allowing them to develop relationships with a diverse range of personalities and people from various cultures and backgrounds. People who are able to work well with others have sought after attributes in an increasing globalization and evolving diverse workplace.

3-10-30: Executive and Stakeholder Communication for Project Managers
When responding to a question from an executive, you have about 3 seconds to make your point...and if they are still listening, 10 seconds to provide some explanation…and if they are still listening, 30 seconds to summarize the details. In a presentation to a group of executives, you have about 3 minutes to make your case…and if they are still listening, 10 minutes to provide some explanation…and if they are still listening, 30 minutes to summarize the details. Executives tend to be busy people who manage by exception. They don’t always need to know all the details, they just want to know you know the details. A short attention span is often just the indication of the need to move on to something else. In this presentation, you will learn some tips and tricks you can put into action immediately for preparing project status updates and presentations to communicate with executives and stakeholders.

Purpose-led organisations out-perform profit-led on EVERY metric. Yet most companies will fail to convert purpose to reality. And that's a costly problem. Why does this PURPOSE GAP exist; why doesn't it show up in entrepreneurial businesses; what can you learn from them; and how can you bridge the GAP in your own company or team.

Wayfinding in your winding road:
Leaps (risks you try to build something new)
Forks in the road (decisions that reveal your desires and values)
Pauses (some gaps and sabbaticals for recovery and creativity)
Detours (side hustles, adventure, or significant hobbies.)

Why Tell a Story? Storytelling is an essential skill for leaders who want to capture the imagination of their employees and spur change. A key element in involving their imagination is by using a story to create mystery and engage their curiosity. Life today is overwhelming. When you offer a story that engages people at an emotional level, entertains them and ignites their passion, they will listen. When they are listening, you have influence. In fact, people will always listen to those who tell the best stories. The best stories are the ones that have the most meaning for the greatest number people. Learn how to ignite action, enable listeners to visualize the transformation needed to instill organizational values and install organizational values. Stories provide you with a venue to be genuine and positive, nurture innovation and establish identity and trust. It is important that you do not tell a single story, rather the characters and themes should be rich and diverse. As a leader you can foster collaboration in which group members develop a shared perspective and create a link between now and a positive result tomorrow. Once people make your story their story, you have tapped into the powerful force of faith. Storytelling creates a natural, collaborative connection between leaders and members of the organization.
Learning Objectives:
1. How can I use the power of story to move my organization/team forward?
2. What and how great leaders tell great stories?
3. What style of story is used and when as a leader?
A Power Point I created as pro bono work for a not-for-profit which did and does great work but lacked discipline and focus. I completed a communications audit for them and this was my presentation and recommendation. Hope any part of it may help other organizations - even the for profit. The simpler you can get, the more associates will understand and row together.
