How to Give Feedback

I had the honor of speaking to over 200 leaders & executives on the topic of Executive Presence, and I had the pressure to also navigate tech sound issues…

The room was packed – standing room only, with people sitting on the floor and lining the walls. At one point, the event staff had to close the doors and turn people away due to fire safety concerns.

I shared more on how I prepared for this talk in my recent podcast episode. You can listen to this x-minute podcast episode on Apple or Spotify.

I’m still reflecting on the energy and impact of that session. It was truly a powerful experience. 

During the talk, I shared an important reminder: executive presence isn’t about being the loudest and extroverted in the room. It’s about showing up authentically and confidently – and yes, that’s a skill anyone can LEARN.


What We Cover in This Episode:

  • Executive Presence
