My corporate career began in External Relations in the early Eighties but I soon moved into Sales and Marketing, where I was active for nearly 30 years (save for a 4-year stint in Recruitment and Selection). I held a number of senior management positions in Italy, UK, and Belgium until, in late 2009, I started my own business as a consultant and trainer working out of Milan, Italy. When choosing which subjects to cover, I have concentrated on my own areas of expertise, adding to the formal content of my training workshops a wealth of real-life stories and business cases in a variety of industries. I have facilitated workshops and corporate events in Italy, France, Germany, UK, the Netherlands, Denmark, Czechia, Serbia, Hungary, South Africa, Tanzania, and the UAE.
About the training
#Understanding what makes a leader #Assessing your executive presence #Using your personal power to the max #How listening can make you a better leader #Adding personal power to positional power
Leadership presence—also known as executive presence (EP)—has to do with the way you command attention and respect in a variety of contexts. It’s an integral part of your leadership power, but it has nothing to do with the degree of formal authority you carry, as it’s undoubtedly a soft skill—not a title. It consists of many facets, one of which is assertiveness, and is largely driven by your communication and people skills. During this action-packed 2-day workshop, we will establish a baseline for every participant’s leadership presence and work on enhancing it relentlessly. Come prepared for plenty of hard work, but you will be in a position to see the results already on Day 2.
