Learn Tools to Develop Leadership Presence & Gravitas

Do you have valuable expertise but want greater respect & authority?
Have difficulty impressing people who should value your expertise?
Want to learn the mind, body & voice skills to engender respect?

Gravitas is a sense of inner authority that comes from the presence of mind to express your wisest thoughts for the good of the whole organization.

To embody gravitas, you must assume the bearing of a leader, but you must never be overbearing. Cultivating gravitas helps you command attention, respect and admiration because you are wise and thoughtful. The commitment to exhibiting gravitas means giving importance to your thoughts, words and actions. As a result, others perceive your importance and naturally value your contributions more.

Recently promoted leaders usually have considerable knowledge and expertise, but they may be challenged when stepping into new roles that require them to exhibit leadership presence or executive presence.

Learning to cultivate gravitas can help an emerging leader feel comfortable in his/her new role and be perceived as a strong leader who is worthy of respect from teams, equals and senior leaders.

Sandra Zimmer’s group course Cultivate Gravitas for Leadership Presence teaches awareness of body, voice, movement, pace and presence. This course gives business professionals tools to develop leadership presence and gravitas so they can have greater impact in their organization and in the world.
