To Advance Your Career, Cultivate Executive Presence

By Joel Garfinkle

Because you aren’t showing up with enough confidence and conviction. You may come across as timid and unsure. This causes others to question and doubt your ideas and insights — and your ability to command a high-level team. What you are lacking is executive presence (EP), and that will directly undermine your value at work.
