Preview
Coqual research led by Sylvia Ann Hewlett found that executive presence accounts for 26 percent of what senior leaders say it takes to get promoted. It breaks into three dimensions: gravitas (67 percent), communication (28 percent), and appearance (5 percent).
Presence is not performance. It is the ability to project confidence, credibility, and composure when others are watching. This workbook helps you audit where you are, prepare for high-stakes moments, and build habits over 14 days.
Built on research from Sylvia Ann Hewlett, Sylvia Ann Hewlett, and Coqual.
