Join us in person!

In this dynamic, practical workshop, we will explore Executive Presence and how to step into presence while staying true to yourself.

Through hands-on interaction and networking activities, we'll unpack:

  • how emotional intelligence fuels composure under pressure,
  • how being authentic strengthens connection, and
  • why presence is built from the inside out

We’ll also explore the quiet force that erodes executive presence: imposter syndrome.

Through reflection, peer connection, and practical tools, you will learn how to regulate internal doubt, communicate with clarity, and project confidence that feels aligned.

The result? A leadership presence that is steady, self-aware, and fearlessly authentic.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore Executive Presence to strengthen your leadership impact while networking with attendees.
  • Leverage emotional intelligence strategies to maintain composure under pressure in challenging situations.
  • Identify and interrupt imposter syndrome patterns to create authentic confidence.
