Executive Presence — Why Capability Isn’t Enough
<p>You’re good at what you do. <br>You deliver. <br>You prepare. <br>You work hard. </p> <p>So why are others getting elevated ahead of you? </p> <p>In this episode, Sarah unpacks the uncomfortable truth most high performers miss: </p> <p>It’s not about competence. <br>It’s about presence. </p> <p>Research from the Center for Talent Innovation found that executive presence accounts for <strong>26% of what it takes to get promoted</strong>. That’s not a soft skill. That’s a career lever. </p> <p>Inside this episode, you’ll discover: </p> <ul> <li>Why strong operators often stall at senior levels </li> <li>The subtle signals that quietly undermine authority </li> <li>How posture, pace and polish shape promotion decisions </li> <li>The difference between sounding busy… and sounding strategic </li> <li>Why “working harder” rarely fixes visibility gaps </li> </ul> <p>Sarah breaks executive presence into three practical components — <strong>gravitas, communication and polish</strong> — and explains how leadership is interpreted through signals, often subconsciously. </p> <p>You’ll hear real-world examples of capable leaders who were overlooked — not because they lacked skill, but because they lacked signal control. </p> <p>And you’ll walk away with three upgrades you can implement immediately: </p> <p>✔ Slow your entry <br>✔ Land your point <br>✔ Regulate your energy </p> <p>This isn’t about being louder. <br>It’s about being credible. </p> <p>If you’ve ever walked out of a meeting thinking, Why didn’t that land? — this episode will change how you show up next time. </p> <p>🎟 Sarah is hosting a free live masterclass: <br><strong>Get the Executive Edge – How to Build Influence, Presence & Accelerate Your Career</strong><br>register here <a href="https://form.sarahmakris.com.au/the-executive-edge">https://form.sarahmakris.com.au/the-executive-edge</a> </p> <p>If you're ready to move from capable to promotable, press play. </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
