You deliver results, solve problems, and execute with speed. Everyone relies on you to get things done.

But when it comes to visibility, recognition, or promotion, others get the spotlight.

The difference isn’t just what you do, but how you’re seen.

To move from “trusted operator” to “recognized leader,” you need two things:

➡️ Executive presence – projecting confidence, authority, and leadership

➡️ Communication mastery – framing your ideas in ways executives adopt and act on

Both are learnable skills. And with the right frameworks, coaching, and AI-powered practice, you can master them.

WHAT CHANGES WHEN YOU MASTER EXECUTIVE PRESENCE

Before this course, you may feel:

• You have great ideas but are rarely looked to for decision-making input

• Nervous, talked-over, or ignored in leadership conversations

• Great at execution but not able to influence critical leadership-level strategy

After this course, you’ll:

• Command rooms (virtual and in-person) with presence and clarity

• Influence executives, peers, and cross-functional partners with ease

• Be trusted as a leader, not just a doer

• Walk into high-stakes conversations fully prepped, with AI as your secret weapon

THE SKILLS YOU'LL MASTER (FASTER WITH AI) AND WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH

By the end of this course, you will:

• Communicate with clarity and authority: Frame your ideas in executive-ready language that earns trust and buy-in

• Project executive presence: Use body language, tone, and mindset to command attention in both in-person and virtual rooms

• Influence and persuade effectively: Adapt your style across functions, audiences, and contexts to move decisions forward

• Build credibility and confidence: Strengthen your self-assurance, emotional intelligence, and ability to inspire action

• Leverage AI to accelerate growth: Use powerful prompts to prep for tough conversations, polish communications, and practice delivery in minutes

WHAT TO EXPECT OVER 3 WEEKS

In this live, cohort-based course, you’ll learn and immediately apply the principles of executive presence and high-impact communication. Instead of abstract frameworks or dull theory, every session is designed to be hands-on and grounded in real workplace scenarios you face as a leader.

Over three weeks, you’ll practice through interactive role-plays, analyze real examples of high-stakes conversations, and experiment with AI tools that help you prep and perform in minutes. All sessions are delivered live (with recordings available to rewatch anytime), and you’ll walk away with practical skills, prompts, and tactics you can use immediately in your next executive meeting, team presentation, or 1:1 with leadership.

You’ll get:

• 3 weeks of live, cohort-based learning

• Interactive role-plays & practice sessions to apply skills immediately

• Take-home projects tied to real workplace challenges
