The Secret to Instant Executive Presence

Know your value, not just your work. When you can really understand and know the value that you bring to your particular career, your communication will improve significantly. Knowing your value allows you to have more authority, conviction, and calmness in your voice. Whereas not knowing your value causes you to have more shakiness, uncertainty, and self-doubt in your voice. When you don't know why you're valuable and what unique special qualities you bring to the table, you will not be able to communicate confidently in front of senior leaders because you will always be questioning yourself. Is what I have to say important? Do I even belong here? What if I say the wrong thing? What if they criticize me? What if they judge me? Sound familiar? What exactly is your value? It's your unique expertise, your unique experience, insight, relationships, or problemsolving ability that only you have and only you can deliver. Once you discover and anchor yourself in your value, you naturally become more confident in what you have to say.
