Present Yourself Authoritatively: Command Respect, Communicate Confidence, and Convey Competence

When you speak, do people stop and listen attentively? When you make suggestions or propose an idea, do you do so with authority and confidence? When you say "no,” do you sound like you mean it? When you walk into a room, do you command a "take charge" presence that people respect? If you feel doubtful or uncertain, do you still come across to others as confident and sure of yourself and the situation?

When you present yourself authoritatively, everything about you—the words you say, how you use your voice and body, your positioning, how you look, your presence, and first impressions of you—communicates confidence and respect. Impress your clients, colleagues, and organization decision-makers, and build stronger relationships when people perceive you to be secure with yourself and caring about others.

In this session we will explore ten behaviors that enable you to present yourself authoritatively in order to command respect from your audience, communicate self-confidence, and convey competence with your expertise.

By the end of the session participants (you) will be able to:
· Identify ten behaviors that enable you to present yourself authoritatively as a confident and competent professional, and
· Recognize areas where you want to be more effective in how you potentially come across to and communicate with clients,
using the resources provided in this program and shared with each other.
