Executive Presence: A Serious Look at What Really Matters
In the work I do coaching leaders on executive presence, I can usually differentiate when someone wants to “look good” vs “do good.” While your physical bearing is important, your core values and the way you communicate them are even more significant. “We need leaders who model high social intelligence…who appeal to our higher selves […]
6 Steps for Building Executive Presence
Executive presence isn’t like great art in that everybody sees it differently. It’s built on learning more about yourself and how you come across to others. Then it takes deliberate practice to implement best ways to make a stronger impression as a good leader. You can’t do this alone. You’ll absolutely need a mentor or […]
11 Ways to Have More Executive Presence
The qualities associated with executive presence can be difficult to learn and practice. It may prove impossible to develop them without the help of a qualified coach or mentor. You can work on and improve some of these competencies by yourself, but even then, they may evade certain personalities. Most people aren’t born with executive […]
What Defines Executive Presence?
Is there such a thing as “executive presence”? Has this ever happened in your company: Someone gets promoted with less experience than a colleague? Let’s say this person successfully competed against other qualified candidates, some of whom you know are just as experienced and smart. You ask yourself, “Why him?” … or, “Why her?” Soon, […]

Coaching with the Toxic Leadership Correction Plan
How do organizations correct toxic leadership and toxic behaviors once it infects a business? Is it ever too late for a prevention plan? Is transformation possible in the face of pervasive toxicity? Many case studies have proved that change is possible, but it requires a major shift in assumptions and engagement in coaching/training. In my […]
Toxic Leaders and Workplaces: Waiting for “Really Bad”
In some ways having a toxic leader can spur positive action. It’s a shame, but often bad behavior has to get really bad before anyone is motivated to speak up. Trauma often opens doors. Sometimes a situation has to deteriorate before people shout “Enough!” By the time HR, the executive board, the senior team and […]
Toxic Leadership: In Search of Prevention
What can organizations do to prevent toxic leadership? I’ve been doing some reading and sharing on bad bosses and toxic leaders. Perhaps what’s needed is a counterintuitive approach. Instead of dwelling on toxic behaviors’ destructive impact, consultants and coaches can work with people to create early awareness of dysfunctions. When toxicity is identified early on, […]
