Course Overview

Executive presence essential

What will I learn?

  • In today’s corporate world, executive presence (EP) is considered a “must-have” for those who want to forge ahead to senior leadership positions, especially for those who aspired to be in the C-suite. This is also the most difficult concept to grasp for employees with Asian background because of the inherent cultural gaps. The good news is that this is a skill (not a trait) that can be learned. This course will cover what are considered to be the core elements of EP, what are the most obvious signs that one lacks EP and what are the practical ways one can use to hone these skills.
