See keynotes with Sally WilliamsonEveryone is a storyteller whether you’re on stage, across a conference table or on a video conference. Impactful presentations leverage the power of story lines to reach a objective. Start with a compelling message, and then develop a story line that proves it out. A good story line is the framework for communication or the flow of ideas.
Presence isn’t something you give yourself, but rather earned from those around you who come to respect your right to speak and ability to lead. It is a combination of attitudes that present a sense of confidence, competence, commitment and authenticity.
Within the first seven seconds of contact, people form up to eleven impressions of a communicator. This means, your personal style says more about your confidence, credibility and comfort than your words do. Make deliberate choices that impact initial impressions
Defining executive presence may be a gray area for many, it is the essence of leadership. It isn’t a technique, but an embedded skill that becomes a personal trait and gives you power and influence over others. An executive with a presence command the room, projects the message and pulls you into their beliefs.
Research has shown that executive evaluate conversations based on two things: Are you credible and confident? and can you solve a business need? An exectuive wants to know the bottom-line benefit or decision. Leading conversations means crafting a message that drives an action or ask from the executive and a measurable impact for the business.
