Confidence, Influence and Presence at Work

Build the confidence and executive presence that earns respect, influence and impact.

What is this course about?

Confidence and presence are not reserved for extroverts or those who shout loudest in meetings. They are skills – observable, learnable behaviours that communicate credibility, command attention and earn influence. For professionals who want to progress and make a greater impact, developing genuine presence is one of the highest-return investments they can make.

This course addresses the mindset and behaviours that create genuine executive presence, how to project confidence even when you do not feel it, and practical techniques for increasing your impact in meetings, presentations and one-to-one conversations. You will leave with a concrete understanding of what presence looks and feels like – and the tools to develop yours deliberately and authentically.

This course is part of our full range of leadership and management training courses – explore the complete programme to find the right development for you and your team.
