What Does Your Presence Convey To Others?

In this video you’ll learn about executive presence, what it is and why it matters for leadership effectiveness.  I recently returned from Santa Fe, New Mexico where I visited the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.  O’Keeffe is well known as the artist who created the painting that commanded the highest price ever by a female artist: $44M in 2014.  What I didn’t know about her until I visited the museum is that at her prime in the 1930s she was one of the most photographed women in the US, recognizable to millions and millions of Americans.   Most of the museum was dedicated to her paintings, but there was a small room containing some of the photographs of her.  Her powerful image jumps off the wall, and draws you in.  Confident.  Composed.  Authentic.  But executive presence isn’t just about how you look.  Listen in, to find out the other secret ingredients of a strong presence.
