OVERVIEW

Highly-effective leaders have a different set of skills to their technical and professional ones. They have “executive presence,” that is, they are consistently successful communicators who positively influence the ways in which they are perceived.

The Executive Presence for Women Half-Day Workshop is stimulating, interactive and practical. It equips women managers and professionals with the leadership communication skills that enable them to be poised and confident at senior levels in their organisations as well as in external forums.

Create and manage your executive presence and gain further respect and credibility by implementing the skills and strategies covered in our exclusive Executive Presence for Women workshop.
