How can a person acquire “Executive Presence” – especially “gravitas”?
Executive Presence is a desired quality that allows a person to project a polished, professional, yet empathetic persona in any situation, clearly and effectively communicate at all levels, and inspire confidence and trust in others.

Executive Presence is often defined as having 3 elements:

Appearance

Communication

Gravitas

According to Melinda Marshall, senior vice president at the Center for Talent Innovation and author of a book entitled Executive Presence, “Gravitas is overwhelmingly the most important aspect of executive presence, and the bulk of that trait is shown through confidence and the ability to show grace under fire.” (ThinkAdvisor, 2014).

Gravitas, however, is a somewhat nebulous quality that is difficult to define. We can tell when others have it; we can tell when they don’t, but how do we identify specific behaviors that we do or don’t possess so we create change? Stop the “undesired” behaviors and ignite the “desired” behaviors?

At English by the Hour, we can help you acquire the following qualities in support of 1) appearance, 2) communication and 3) gravitas:

– Powerful Presence

– Powerful Breathing

– Powerful Voice

– Powerful Speech
