Show Up Like a Leader: Practical Tools for Presence, Visibility, and Influence

Great work is the start. Presence and visibility are what move you forward

What sets you apart as a mid-level manger is how you present yourself and whether the right people know what you bring. The people who move ahead fastest aren’t working harder. They’ve built habits that show senior leaders that they are ready for more.

You’ve probably heard some of this:

  • “You need more executive presence,” with no clear steps

  • “Be more strategic,” right after a meeting where you felt unprepared

  • “Leadership needs to know you better,” but you don’t have time to network

  • “Keep doing what you’re doing,” while peers move ahead

Two things are often holding strong performers back. The first is presence: how you show up in the room. The second is visibility: whether the right people know what you do and what you stand for. You need all three.

In this workshop, you’ll:

✓ Identify the specific behaviors that make people see you as a leader, and the habits that work against you
✓ Create a visibility strategy that fits your schedule and your style, so it doesn’t feel like self-promotion

What you’ll learn

Swap the habits that keep you invisible for the ones leaders watch for, and start showing up like you’re ready for the next role.

  • Build relationships and champion you work to help the right people see your value, without cringy self-promotion

  • Learn how to avoid common pitfalls and junior level "tells" in writing, speaking, and presenting

  • Think like a leader: unlock a mindset shift using a simple framework to connect every task to the business goal behind it

  • Identify and prioritize the results that really matter to your clients and managers

  • Take steps to help you feel more self assured and in-the-moment when presenting

  • The difference between someone who gets promoted in 18 months vs. 4 years is rarely about working harder

  • It isn't toxic competence

  • Understand why your tasks matter

  • Anticipate further needs

  • Connect your work to the bigger picture

  • Create a "so what?" Habit

  • Public Speaking Competency.

  • Don’t overthink it.

Workshop agenda

  • The Executive Presence Edge

    You'll learn what "executive presence" really means, why it's important, and how to lead with a vibe that demonstrates both competence and confidence.

  • Increasing your Visibility

    Your performance and your image are important, but they aren't enough. You must also prioritize being seen by those who have the power and influence to open doors and create new opportunities.

  • Creating your plan

    Now that you've learned more about the importance of presence and visibility, you'll connstruct and commit to an action plan to move you forward.
