KEYNOTE PROGRAM 1:
Align, Inspire, and Move People to Act!
The 15 Indisputable Qualities of
Executive Presence
What is executive presence, and why does it matter? Intuitively, leaders know it’s an important success factor. Sometimes it’s described as presentation skill, polish, charisma or professional image. However, these descriptions fail to acknowledge the deeper-level facets that enable leaders to align, inspire, and move people to act.In this keynote session, bestselling author and top CEO coach Suzanne Bates will reveal new, breakthrough research on the essential qualities of executive presence and influence. Drawing from her new book, All the Leader You Can Be: The Science of Achieving Extraordinary Executive Presence (McGraw Hill 2016), Suzanne will enable you to understand how to influence decisions, engage hearts and minds, and mobilize above and beyond effort from people.
As coaches to top executives around the globe, Suzanne and her firm have worked with some of the world’s most successful organizations to help their leaders drive business strategies forward. With the Bates ExPI™ Executive Presence Index, they’ve developed the first research-based assessment to measure executive presence in leaders.
