10 Things You Can Do to Increase Your Presence at the Front of the Room

Session Description:

The adage “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” holds true for everyone, but it can have particular consequences for leaders. When you are a leader, people watch your every move and the impression you make can be the difference between succeeding or failing. In this 30-minute interactive “mini-workshop” we will explore behaviors that shout “Leader!” when you are at the front of the room (and some that do not!). What you say as a leader is important, but what you do determines whether or not they listen.
