Executive Presence
You won’t realize your full potential as a leader without Executive Presence. But the good news is that executive presence can be learned. If your leaders already have executive presence, this program will help them leverage it even more effectively. This book shows them how to radiate gravitas, act with authority, communicate powerfully, and build a positive reputation.
Getting Ahead
Why is one person more successful than another? The answer: Person A knows how to use Perception, Visibility, and Influence. Person B doesn’t know about, understand, or apply these concepts. He leaves the fate of his career in someone else’s hands. Person B is your hidden treasure—undiscovered, unmotivated, underutilized. The concepts in this book will excite your hidden leaders, motivating them to step forward and become the stars you always knew they could be.
