Executive Presence: Drive Impact, Be Influential, and Build Trust

Sloan Group International’s Executive Presence & Influence Program™ elevates the ability of leaders to impact and influence others in the organization, specifically senior leadership. This comprehensive, multitouchpoint program utilizes a simple, yet impactful 4-part model:

Somatic (Physical) Presence
One’s ability to command their physical posture, gestures, verbal pace and tone

Mental Presence
One’s ability to stay mentally clear, focused and on task with what they are saying

Emotional Presence
One’s ability to be aware of self and others, and to engage others emotionally through appreciation and acknowledgment

Charismatic Presence
One’s ability to positively impact others just by being there

These four areas of Executive Presence provide a simple, yet powerful and practical model for readers to identify which aspects of their presence need more focus. Additionally, the model helps leaders diagnose which competencies are needed most in a high stakes influence situation, whether it is to get results from people you’re working with, get a promotion, or to deliver powerful messages that engage participation and presence in others.
