Develop Executive Presence

Develop Executive Presence

Key to super fast career progress: Develop Executive Presence.

You might be saying, it’s hard for me to speak up in meetings, especially when my boss and upper management are present.?

Well, that’s not your fault.?

During the years of your programming career, you had to always think about how things may fail before installing them into production. So the brain gets hardwired to think a lot about fear of failure.?

But you already know the solution.

You must stop thinking too much about fear of failure, start talking and take action!

Because thinking too much is costing you every way.

It stops you from sharing your ideas in the meeting.

Other people talk about the same idea and they get the limelight and new responsibilities.

You start feeling inferior and confidence starts going down.

There is no time to “think too much”.

Now career growth comes only to those people who can make quick decisions, take action and present their ideas in front of the right people.

Aren’t you seeing that in your office??

We keep thinking too much before saying yes to challenging opportunities and other people grab them.

We keep thinking too much about failure and keep missing success.

We keep thinking too much about “will it work for me’ and stay stuck where we are.

?Sounds familiar?

Fortunately, there is a way to break the spell of this curse.

By making the shift...

Develop Executive Presence.

What does developing executive presence mean?

It means thinking, listening, and talking like an executive leader in charge.

It means commanding one on one conversations, meetings, and presentations.

It means making people see you as totally ready for the high position.


How to do all that? Using the secret formula:?

In the moment practice using mindfulness.

In The Moment Practice is the practical, logical way to pre-empt incoming stress, gain control over your emotions, figure out ideal executive behavior for that situation, and respond accordingly.?

For example, you are an expert in technology, but when it comes to presenting yourself and your solution in meeting with high-level people, you must present it with an ideal executive behavior.

It doesn't matter how confident and courageous you are behind your computer monitor.?For career growth in leadership roles, what matters is how confident and courageous you are, in the meetings, in front of people, especially the upper management.

Because that’s when they see you.

You must showcase your accomplishments, be able to articulate the value you bring to the table, and answer challenging questions confidently even if you have little knowledge on the topic.

If you can’t do that, you will not be given leadership roles.

Your work is not a person. It can not speak for itself. You must speak up!

Won’t you agree?

Let me ask you, how vocal you are in the meetings when you have to express your ideas and stand up for yourself?

How outgoing you are in talking with people, networking, and establishing relationships?

On the personal front, what happens when you talk with your boss about your promotion and raise?

What happens to your emotions and behavior during such situations?

Anxiety..insecurity..fear..frustration and even anger ...all popup... in a big way, don’t they?

To win... we must have strong emotional strength in such situations.

You may not have that strength right now but you build it using the secret formula.?

I will explain that shortly.

But first, let’s take a look at the conventional ways that don't work of achieving success.

  • Work long hours, work hard.
  • Become indispensable.
  • Take control.
  • Sacrifice personal life.
  • Be competitive.
  • Fight for your promotion.
  • Grab power, Play office politics
  • Be pushy
  • Read books
  • Do MBA.
  • Gather endless certifications.


People have been using all these ways to achieve high positions but they are the slowest and completely unreliable way to achieve a high position and worse yet, they cause more harm than good.

See this list again. None of these are inspiring and motivating.?

Working long hours, working hard means more work gets pushed on you causing burnout.

Becoming indispensable means they won’t give you a promotion, because who will replace you??


Trying to take control creates pushback and resentment from your colleague and boss.

Sacrificing personal and family life simply destroys you and your family’s happiness.

Being competitive hurts your relationships with others, creating enemies and stress.

Reading books is just a passive thing...where is the action??

Doing an MBA, can distract you from your work for years, costs a fortune, and may not give any return.?

I have done an MBA myself. Sure, it is helping me in my business in a big way. But as I also remember my CTO telling me, keep your MBA on the side, if you want a promotion, listen to me.

Did you notice? It is a Master of Business Administration. It is not a Master of Career Administration.

And certifications can be just a paper if it does not help in your job.

?This old way to a high position is a never-ending cycle of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.

Fortunately, there is a much faster, simpler, and nicer way.

Develop an executive presence using the secret formula that I call? “In The Moment Practice” of mindfulness.

So let’s get into the details of “In the moment practice”.

Here is the secret syntax….


Notice the strong emotions before they hit ? ->? access your inner leader → Retrieve your specific “in-the-moment” strategy ->? --------->Act using ideal behavior--->??

Reflect on it and get better next time.

This secret formula gives my clients the wisdom to find ideal executive behavior in all sorts of situations and gives them all that courage, confidence to act accordingly.?

And all of it is in the moment, exactly when you need it, in the meeting, while talking with your big boss.

You can let go of stressful, negative thoughts and emotions, and instead, you can focus on what matters.

And since this is all based on mindfulness, you will get transformed into a kind, loving, compassionate person and that will reflect in your personal and family life too.?

You will become much more attentive and caring for your family, giving them your full presence, bringing more joy and happiness.
