79. 10 Powerful Tips to Build Executive Presence and Command Any Room

Most people think executive presence is about speaking the loudest, wearing a power suit, or throwing around corporate jargon. Kendall Berg is here to tell you that’s all wrong. Executive presence is about influence. The best leaders don’t dominate conversations—they know how to ask the right questions, build strong relationships, and stay composed under pressure.

In this episode of Secrets of the Career Game, Kendall breaks down the three core pillars of executive presence and reveals practical strategies to help you develop leadership skills that actually matter. 

She shares why talking less can make you more powerful, how to handle high-pressure situations like a pro, and the fastest way to destroy your executive presence (spoiler: it’s being too detailed). If you’ve ever felt like you’re not “naturally” a leader, this episode will change your mind.
