In every corporate world, executives set out time for reinvention and career advancement. Examining your motivations is the first step in figuring out what executive presence might look like for you. Your strategy will depend on whether you desire a stronger executive presence for relevance or to stay afloat. Keep reading to find out more on how top executives are building influence, trust and respect in order to stay relevant.
Remain authentic
It’s crucial that you stay true to your authentic self. Don’t try to put on an act if you don’t have a charismatic personality. People can immediately tell when you are acting dishonestly because they can smell it a mile away. Keep in mind that consistency is key in all aspects of presence, voice, and image. Do not strive to maintain a façade if you are unable to do so constantly.
Understanding limits
Some executives are more naturally gifted with certain traits than others. It requires both nature and nurture, like many other qualities. Others are more reserved leaders who value their alone time, while some people are inherently charismatic leaders who can make friends with everyone.
Staying consistent
Once you are aware of your skills and objectives, make sure you are living up to them in the present. People feel safe and secure around you because they know what to expect from you. Because of this, everything you say, share, write, wear, and do should be consistent with your ideals and aspirations.
Communicate effectively
Developing a strong relationship with the people you wish to influence pays off. Spend time listening to others and picking up their language so you can communicate with them. Effective communication enhances your charm, confidence, and competence while also making others feel heard, seen, and understood.
Seeking guidance
Pick a role model to serve as an inspiration and a guidance for you. Find someone who began off not far from where you are today and developed an executive presence you respect. This could be a role model from your life, a famous person whose life narrative you are familiar with, or a business executive.
