In a world of EdTech Leadership, a person’s innovation and strategy often get the attention and accolades of our peers. Underneath every impactful leader is something more hidden, but needs just as much or more attention, and that is Executive Presence. That hidden factor allows the leader to build trust, command attention, inspire, and call others to action – even if the leader says very little. Executive presence isn’t just for the person at the organization's top; it’s for anyone who wants to lead with purpose and influence others without overpowering.
Some people think that executive presence comes naturally and can’t be learned. I disagree and tell you that it can most definitely be learned. We all need to have the growth mindset that, with intention, we can reflect upon and grow our executive functioning skills.
In this blog, I list some of the overlooked soft skills you can use to create impact and stand out. I cannot say I am an expert in these, but I know good presence when I see it. In my next few blog posts, I will expand upon strategies to build your executive presence.
