S5E20 - Mastering Executive Presence (Part 2): Real Housewives Examples

Welcome back! 

In the last episode, we kicked off our discussion on executive presence, breaking down what it truly means and debunking some of the outdated, biased narratives around it. In this episode, we're diving deeper into three more characteristics of executive presence: credibility, command, and conciseness. And, of course, I'll be using some of my favorite people—the Real Housewives—to illustrate both good and bad examples of these traits in action.

Key Takeaways:

• Credibility is earned through expertise and communication. 
• Command is about leading with confidence and trust. 
• Conciseness makes communication more impactful.
