Makes You More
Impressive and Compelling 

Why Do I Need Gravitas?

Kelpies2.jpg

Gravitas and Presence count for
26% of what it takes to get promoted*

Gravitas is the 'secret sauce' that helps with leading people, career promotion and  winning business too.

It helps you deliver your professional service with more Professionalism.

*This is according to the 2012 study by the Center for Talent Innovation in New York. It concluded that being perceived - to be seen by others - as leadership material is essential to being promoted into leadership positions. 

You've heard of a 'Compelling story' haven't you?

Where you're hanging on every word, gripped to know what's coming next.

A great speaker - or a book that you just can't put down, a real page-turner. You're engrossed and can't wait for more.

Or a compelling argument that you just can't rebut, it is more commanding than any other point.

Or a website that keeps you scrolling and scrolling because the content is so 'Compelling'.

If the dates don't work for you, don't worry. Let me know of your interest as there will be future/concurrent cohorts.

Module 1: The Gravitas Gauge 

Confidence. Assertiveness. Gravitas. How do they impact on each other? How do they help you to Be More Compelling - or not?

Using my self-diagnostic Inventory, you'll understand how you measure up and what areas you need to focus on - whether that's to turn it up or tone it down.

Module 2: The Negotiator's Mindset and Skillset

 

We are, in every single human interaction - in one way or another - always negotiating. 

So we had better get good at it.

You can learn how to 'negotiate like a lawyer' and 'out-influence' the room.


Espeically in leadership and sales. Also essenital when it comes to influencing stakeholders, volunteers, clients and colleagues, where we can't just 'pull rank'.
 

Module 3: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

Uderstanding what causes, and perpetuates, the self-sabotage that is Imposter Syndrome. Building a resolute mindset and self-identity to keep it in check - and even overcome it.

Module 4: Conflict Eloquence

Interpersonal conflict is a fact of life, business and relationships.

Let's build our conflict competence and conflict confidence by understanding how it starts, how it escalates and how it is resolved.

Module 5: Be More Compelling

 

Gravitas is the secret sauce to being more impressive, persuasive and successful as a leader, professional and business person.

When coupled with clarity, charisma and compassion, you will be even more Compelling.

​​​

Module 6: Presentations and Speaking Off-the-Cuff

 

Let's raise our game when speaking and presenting AND when we have to speak without preparation whether that's a last-minute request or the (some say dreaded) Q&A after your presentation.

Module 7: Recap, Refine and Renew

 

We will review our learnings and experience from the programme, the impact we have had and what we need to do to keep making progress.
