Motivational Speakers in Las Vegas Nevada
#1 Leadership Trait is Executive Presence Says Las Vegas Motivational Speaker
When visiting Las Vegas as a motivational speaker, I’m often asked to deliver my most in-demand program, “Executive Presence: Four Ways to Convey Confidence and Command Respect as a Leader.”
That’s no surprise—Las Vegas boasts industry events attended by top executives from some of the nation’s leading firms. Of course, they all want to know how to have more confidence and presence as they advance to the next level in their careers. Event organizers know that the right motivational speaker will turn an event from routine to truly groundbreaking.
Key Aspects of Executive Presence
Here are the four key aspects of executive presence I discuss in this speech:
-
Radiating gravitas.
This means projecting confidence and remaining poised in all situations.
-
Acting with authority.
This involves having strong belief in your ideas, sharing them boldly, and holding yourself accountable for seeing them through.
-
Building a positive reputation.
This means showing that you’re trustworthy, credible, and reliable, giving others a high level of respect for you.
-
Communicating powerfully.
This involves persuading others to believe in your ideas by speaking with conviction and enthusiasm, and being concise and direct.
Those who master these four qualities will become the high-impact leaders who move the organization forward..
After describing what executive presence looks like, I shared techniques for cultivating it, asking attendees to take notes they could incorporate into a professional growth plan. Having a solid plan keeps morale high long after a motivational speech.
Techniques for Cultivating Executive Presence
In Las Vegas, I shared these five tips for honing executive presence.
-
Speak with confidence and authority.
Practice modifying your speech to gain the trust of others by showing your own confidence. Record yourself speaking normally as you explain a great idea you have. Then envision how a powerful executive would share the same idea. Try to use that cadence and language when delivering your message.
-
Share your expertise in meetings.
Look for ways to weave your expertise into the conversation naturally as you peruse the agenda for an upcoming meeting. If someone says he needs help in an area you know a lot about, volunteer at the meeting to assist him. You’ll solidify the image of yourself as an authority for everyone who is present. If you can do this at high-level meetings, so much the better. The more face-time you get with powerful leaders, the more likely you’ll be invited to the table.
-
Consider how you would communicate your full worth to others.
Write down three to five of your key contributions to your company. Then write down specific deliverables that demonstrate each of those contributions. Practice articulating those points succinctly, the way you’d explain them to a top-level leader, so you can speak off the cuff to highlight the value you bring when the opportunity arises.
-
Take on challenging projects.
If you’ve been in a rut, expand your own job description by tackling more ambitious projects. If you’ve been itching to demonstrate your leadership skills, volunteer to assemble a task force to take on a prestigious project. Make sure your goals are achievable, while pushing you to stretch your capabilities and step outside of your comfort zone. Practice delegating clearly and checking in with team members to make sure the work flows smoothly.
-
Take a risk.
Have you noticed any opportunities where, if a risky but viable course of action panned out, you could raise your profile greatly? If so, consider delving in. Talk with your boss to share your rationale and gain support for your idea—that way, everyone will go in with open eyes.
