What You Will Learn:

• Presence over Performance: The distinction between simply doing the work well and showing up as a leader.
• Building Credibility: Identifying the early behaviors and communication styles that shape others' perceptions of you.
• Projecting Confidence: Using clarity of thought and composure to establish authority in high-visibility situations.
• Shifting Your Mindset: Moving away from task execution and toward influence and decision-making.
