Greetings Reader,
​
Welcome back to Leadership by Cornerstone! In this edition, we’re delving into a topic that can make or break a leader’s influence: Executive- or Leadership Presence. Whether you’re leading a team, navigating a career transition, or stepping into a new leadership role, how you present yourself can profoundly impact your success.
​
​
What is Leadership Presence?
Leadership presence is more than just what you say—it’s how you show up. It’s the ability to project confidence, inspire trust, and influence others. It’s about resonating with people in a way that makes them feel your credibility and integrity without you needing to say a word.
If you are looking to improve your leadership presence and don’t know where to begin, here’s a list of questions to get you thinking...
What specifically does leadership presence mean to you?
How does your organization define the competencies of leadership presence?
What behaviors are relevant here?
What attitudes are relevant here?
Which relationships are most relevant (up, down, across, outside)?
How does leadership presence need to show up for each relationship?​​
​
​
Now that you’ve answered those questions and have a better idea of how you want to show up, how can you determine where you may need assistance?
Enter Harrison Monarth’s Executive Presence Indicator (EPI). The EPI is a self-assessment designed to raise awareness of the 5 indicators and 17 nuanced elements that factor into executive presence. The assessment is freely available to anyone who is ready to discover which aspects of their style align with executive presence.
Once you have completed the EPI, check your email for your results! You will receive a percentage and rating on each of the following...

Take time to reflect on where you excel and where you can grow, and start applying these insights in your daily leadership journey.
Executive presence is something that is perceived by others, not determined by you.This means that, to sway and manage the all-important perceptions of others you must gain strategic self-awareness of the competencies and characteristics you need to develop for a potent executive presence and then you need to engage in constant self-monitoring of those skills and traits.
