EXECUTIVE PRESENCE FOR WOMEN LEADERS PROGRAM

Become all the leader you can be

IN NEED OF EXECUTIVE PRESENCE?

As a woman leader you want to give yourself every opportunity to stand out and be seen as a highly effective senior leader.
While executive presence has always been a mysterious “X Factor” in leadership, we solve the mystery in this course.
Terms like charisma and executiveimage are often considered synonyms of executive presence, but we know from research that these are just one part of the “executive presence puzzle”.
What you’ll learn in this program is that there are 15 qualities that enable you to not only stand out, but influence others and sustain goal-directed action in an organization.

The program provides you with a clear path to understanding your executive presence and how it is felt by others.

You walk away from the program with practical skills and tools for leading with influence, winning buy-in, mobilizing above-and-beyond effort, sustaining purposeful action, and driving business results.

How people view your strengths and how to leverage those to enhance your career and leadership effectiveness.
Readiness to go out and apply what you’ve learned to build your leadership brand.
A plan to build a team around you to help you enhance your executive presence.
Ways to apply what you’ve learned to influence, engage, and inspire others.
How to use executive presence to get things done and execute on business initiatives.
What to do if you are taking a new assignment or anticipating a new role.

Prior to the program, you’ll have the opportunity to complete the Bates ExPI™, a multi-rater 360 assessment.
Based on the Bates ExPI™ Assessment, you discover your strengths and gaps within 15 areas of leadership proven to be critical to influencing others and driving results.
After the assessment you’ll have a 30 min. personal orientation call and a 1,5 hour confidential insights and interpretation session with a Holter Consulting coach.
Through the program, you learn to amplify your strengths in three dimensions: Character, Substance, and Style.
Along with the coach, you’ll identify concrete steps to apply what you’ve learned to two important, business relevant themes that are drivers in your current role.

All women – like all men – are unique. Therefore, we don’t believe that there are general behaviors or skills that all women need to develop.
In other programs for women, you’ll often find exercises about assertiveness or “speaking up” based on the assumption that this is something all women need to develop.
However, the truth is that we all have individual development needs to become all the leader we can be.
This program is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
You discover your brand of executive presence and how to enhance the qualities you need to engage, align, inspire and move people to act.

We don’t believe that women leaders need to ”be fixed”or that women are in special need of development. So, why a “women only” program?
Statistics tell us, that most women leaders at executive level will find themselves in the minority.
By being a “women only” program we create a safe and collegial environment where women leaders can share challenges, struggles and experiences.
We find that it creates a special atmosphere where vulnerability, open-mindedness and learning thrive.
The Executive Presence for Women Leaders Program is a unique opportunity to meet with and learn from talented, driven and like-minded women leaders from various organizations and industries.

The program offers a unique, high impact experience that gives you a tangible, powerful set of tools, including these key elements:
