GRAVITAS

Makes You More
Impressive and Compelling 

01.png

Confidence. Influence. Gravitas.

Your Personal Presence is the way you 'hold' yourself, how you present to others and engage with them in a whole host of situations.

Gravitas is the secret sauce that makes you Presence more Compelling.

You might find it quite a challenge to accurately describe Presence or Gravitas. But you know it when you see it, don't you?

It's not just an aura around someone (do you remember those old 'Ready Brek' adverts on the TV?!) but they do seem to have something special - some kind of 'stand out' quality - for good reasons.

You will be seen as genuine, important, successful - you can hold (or perhaps command) a room or an audience. It's much more than just making a good presentation though. It includes how you 'carry' yourself. Not aloof or too distant, yet not quite 'at the coal face'. Approachable and amiable, yet selective.

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

If it helps with promotion that means it can help with 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 Can Be
Impressive and Compelling

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'.

#over-coached!?

We know 'Presence' when we see it - and we know when we don't!
​
I wonder if poor George Osborne was 'over-coached' for his conference speech.
​
It seems to be a deliberate 'power pose' ploy for these Conservative MPs as David Cameron, Theresa May and Michael Gove have all used it as well.

Then in May 2018 Sajid Javid was doing it too, on the very day he became UK Home Secretary. It became an internet sensation - but not in a good way. Do YOU think this gives them more power - more Gravitas?
​
Maybe their coach was an opposition voter! Rest assured, I will NEVER advise you to look - to Present - like this!
