First Impressions Depend On Energy

Executive presence reflects your internal confidence and who you are in the room, not volume.

INSIGHT

Charge Other People's Batteries

Amplifying your energy can "charge" other people's low batteries and make you magnetic.
This emotional intelligence action builds influence and elevates executive presence.

ADVICE

Use The 90-Second "Great" Exercise

Do the "Great Exercise": look in a mirror and repeat the word "great" rapidly until you feel a shift.
This interrupts negative thoughts, triggers positive chemicals, and puts a smile on your face in under 90 seconds.
