Executive Presence for Lasting Leadership
Chris Ulrich
Body Language Expert & Political Consultant
Guest Speaker
Any given gesture -a nod, a point of the finger - unconsciously communicates powerful ideas and feelings that have tangible consequences. Top executives are generally proficient in their ability to interact with others, but the stakes are raised during high-level negotiations, reporting to the board, inspiring and empowering senior managers or dealing with tricky internal matters. This is especially challenging in a highly remote environment.
Join body language expert Chris Ulrich as he shares:
- Why every movement and action is magnified in high-level situations
- Tools and techniques to build rapport quickly
- How executives can communicate more effectively
