Executive Presence means being comfortable in your own skin

In Executive Coaching, the number one topic, that comes up time and time again is Executive Presence with more books and articles written on this, than perhaps any other aspect of management.
Executive Presence is about how you "show up" to others in the business world and there are no quick fixes.
It is certainly not about completing some daily exercise or purchasing and maybe even reading some overpriced self-development book, the next time you walk through the airport.
It's also not about being the smartest person in the room or reminding others of your seniority, actually, it's quite the opposite!
Executive Presence is all about how you wear your journey: the comfort, ease, and confidence you have in yourself and your abilities, and how this feeling transfers to those around you.
It is best demonstrated and indeed developed by engagement with others, giving them your time, focus, and attention.
Fully listening to truly understand the views of others and what has brought them to this place.
It is about assuming good intent, being vulnerable around your own challenges, and sharing your successes, fears, and failures.
In summary, it is about developing a strong self-image and becoming a truer version of yourself, fully confident in your acceptance by others.
