3 Imperatives of a Customer First Culture
Description
In today’s world of the internet, any differentiation you can create for your products or services will be replicated by somebody else very quickly. You must innovate repeatedly, but that’s not always possible.

The 7 Essentials of Executive Presence
Description
At executive level, just doing good work is not the whole job. In addition to producing results, you must be seen as worthy of the job in the first place. The secret sauce is to have Executive Presence (EP).
There are no clear definitions of EP. There are 3 major pillars – gravitas, communications and appearance. Research indicates gravitas is the most important of them.
We work with participants to develop their own EP with a focus on
- Maintaining poise under fire
- Establishing your status
- Making connections with people
- Being authentic and original
- Communicating so others listen
- Keeping an open mind and a level head
- Producing results
The workshop is of a 2 day duration and can be delivered on-site or virtually. The coaching engagements usually span 6-12 months.
This program is for the leadership pipeline as well as for incumbents in senior leadership positions. It can also be availed in a 1:1 coaching model or a 1:M group coaching model.
Time required
- Group Coaching In person: 2 business days
- Virtual Group Coaching: 4 sessions of 4 hours each over 2 weeks
