Developing Leadership Presence

Leadership presence isn’t about personality or genetics. You can learn to project strong self-confidence, clarity and credibility even under conditions of stress, pressure and uncertainty. In this course, John Ullmen, PhD, a professor from the UCLA Anderson School of Management, shares key research insights and step-by-step methods he uses to coach leaders around the world to develop leadership presence. He outlines the four key factors that drive leadership presence, and the specific actions to make them work for you. He also explains the difference between internal and external presence, and how to enhance both to increase your self-assurance and positive influence on others. He addresses how to do all of this without being fake or feeling inauthentic, but instead staying true to yourself and your values.
