Most women are promoted on what they deliver and passed over on how they are perceived. The gap between the two is executive presence, and it is a skill, not a personality trait. Drawing on 20+ years in Fortune 500 boardrooms and steering committees, where credibility is read before a word is spoken, and on the framework behind her #1 Amazon bestseller The Power Dressers™, Michele Grant breaks presence into practical, buildable parts: how you enter a room, how you dress for the decision being made rather than the day on the calendar, how you hold the floor, and how you signal that you belong at the level above the one you occupy. Attendees leave with a personal presence audit, three changes they can make before their next high-stakes meeting, and a clear view of the difference between being visible and being memorable. Designed for women at the manager, director, and rising executive level, and for the leaders who sponsor them.

Format: keynote (30 to 45 minutes) or interactive workshop (60 to 90 minutes). Virtual or in person. Audience: women in leadership and those preparing for it; HR, DEI, ERG, and leadership development programs; women's conferences and professional associations.
