How will you step into 2026?
My first boss gave me sage advice I still remember- “Everyone makes an impression when they walk into a room. You’re a leader. Make yours count.”
If you want to be known as a leader, your ability to convey executive presence is critical.
And sometimes we miss the boat.
Add a bolder goal!
When I work with leaders on their communication goals, we add an even bolder one: developing executive presence. It can be harder to achieve, because it takes real practice. It takes effort to be effortless.
Presence isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room.
It isn’t about how you compare to others.
It isn’t having the flashiest outfit (though if you know me, you know I do love award show fashion!).
Here’s what it REALLY is:
It’s about how you arrive.
When I coach leaders on executive presence, we talk about the power of intentional entry.
Whether you’re heading into a high-stakes meeting or leading your first team session of the year, how you show up sets the tone for everything that follows.
Let’s help your leaders step into 2026 with more clarity, confidence, and the ability to own any room you’re in.
