Show notes

If you’re a leader or aspire to be one, you’ve probably thought about how you project confidence and competence. Your executive presence is as much a vibe you give off as it is a skill you develop. And it’s important to exhibit if you want to assure others you’re ready to lead. Megan Bock, the COO of an insurance technology company, has mastered executive presence. Laura Sicola is a cognitive linguist who coaches executives. In this episode, Bock and Sciola discuss the key elements of executive presence and offer advice to a listener who's trying to develop it while working remotely.
