40. Executive presence
- Signal, for the preparedness for the next big chance; more than knowing your craft
- Gravitas force, competence, intellectual heavyweight, credibility, eloquence, impact
- Communication, in an American centric corporation, from consensus to impact
- Appearance is small
Survey shows
- confidence, poise under pressure
- decisiveness, showing teeth, toughness
- emotional intelligence, empathy factor, valuing diverse, customers and clients could be global, build trust; top down isn't working anymore
- vision, a mesaured vision, one that you can put data and evidence around
Tactics
- Sugar coat strength with humor
- Signal statue and status
- Share stories of roots and passion - but do not overshare; small failures, blunders
- Figure out your non negotiables
Communication
- concise, compelling speaking style; mini ted talk; practice like crazy; know three different versions; learn to tell stories
- ability to command a room; get the buy-in, leave it having impressed, pushed the ball forward, have a central role
- forcefulness and assertiveness; the degree of edginess can be different by bias
- ability to read a client, a boss, and a room
- sense of humor, ability to banter
- body language and posture; have the full eye contact in the person;
Tactics
- lose the props; women prepare 1/3 more slides, have to show how much work they have put in but they really undermine them
- make eye contact
- lower your voice and breathe; voices go up when pressure up; not speeding up, not lifting up; manipulates your voice so that you are heard; tone and projection
- stiffen your backbone
- use silence as a weapon; becomes more economical for what you say; learn to surround the thoughts with silence, to deliberately make people feel important; manipulate in a way to get the voice to count; the communication is the way in, commanding importance
