Program Highlights

Executive Presence – Ms. Eda Roth

Women in business need to have the full range of their own expression so that they can enter a set of circumstances, make it real for themselves and others, and act persuasively. Women with a full range of skillsphysical, vocal, and analyticalare better able to create situations that are believable and memorable. Executive Presence is about having the full range of your own expressionbeing more of the real youso that you can influence others effectively in a variety of situations. In this session, we will focus on various components of presence: the values that drive communication, using the body and voice, engaging audiences strategically, and identifying and breaking through barriers that would constrain and limit our own expression so that we can be the most compelling, authentic, and effective in any given set of circumstances.
