There's a difference between being a boss and being a leader. Rotman's Executive Presence workshop provides you with the tools to improve your motivation, body language, and emotional intelligence so you become and present the way you want to be seen.
Your presence includes your gestures, gaze, voice and more. Each plays a part in building other people's impressions of you, their perception of your ability to lead, your confidence, and capability. Leadership is more than what you say, it is how you are heard.

Whether you intend it or not, our emotions unconsciously play out on our faces and in our body language and can send mixed messages to both your team and those above you. By learning to consciously investigate and reshape your mental frames and habitual emotional patterns, you can improve your ability to lead others, boost cooperation between departments, and prove you’re ready for the next level of your career.
Using the lens of a psychologist with extensive experience and expertise in self-development and leadership training, Professor Maja Djikic will help you refine the way you present yourself to the world so you can inspire confidence in others.
