Even the most successful business leaders can find themselves in a rut. Routines and practices that have worked well in the past can actively work against you as you strive to reach new personal and professional goals. These routines and practices need to be reviewed, updated and sometimes replaced as responsibilities and goals change. It is important to avoid complacency and challenge yourself to go beyond your comfort zone as you strive to achieve new leadership levels. Intentional leadership is a style of leadership that allows you to overcome these types of barriers, unleash your creativity and reach your full potential as a leader.

Confidence. Vision. Integrity. Courage. Perseverance. These are some of the traits that successful leaders possess. While knowledge and experience are critical to success in business, truly gifted leaders are recognized through their words and actions. Leaders must have a highly developed self-awareness, and they must also connect with others in a meaningful and authentic way. These characteristics embody true “leadership presence,” and leaders can learn and put into practice these important communication attributes. Leadership presence is, in part, a projection of values and conviction, and it requires honesty, trust, and confidence. How leaders look and sound has a profound impact on the image they project, and this image can either strengthen or weaken their ability to inspire and motivate an audience. In this “Developing Leadership Presence” program, you'll have the opportunity to explore, develop, and refine your leadership presence so that you can lead more effectively in your organization.
