At this breakfast meeting, you will see that it’s a common myth that you either have ‘executive presence’ – that essence that helps you to command a room – or you don’t. Actors know that there are tangible techniques and exercises you can do to cultivate that presence…and that they can be taught. This keynote translates the skills of the theater to the office. The approach is from two vantage points - the external and the internal aspects of presence. Externally, Shannon will address aligning spoken messages with unspoken ones in the keynote by focusing on the external aspects of presence: posture (standing and seated), breathing, voice, eye contact, gestures, movement, and posture. Research shows that changing your posture makes you more confident and more successful in high stress situations.
