Empower Your Path to the C-Suite

Dr. Paul

The ‘C-suite’ – if you didn’t know better sounds more like a luxury than the pinnacle of professional achievement. But for those who’ve been there, it’s a place where the most formidable leadership qualities are not just displayed but rigorously tested.  The rewards are immense, making the relentless effort to reach and remain there not just worthwhile, but a coveted goal for ambitious professionals.  According to Sylvia Ann Hewitt in a recent article for the Harvard Business Review, aspiring leaders must demonstrate “executive presence”.  She describes it as the missing link between merit and success, a combination of self-confidence, poise, and authenticity – that which is needed to inspire confidence in others to believe in and follow you.  I suggest that the missing link to expressing executive presence is developing one’s most natural, well-produced, authentic voice and presence.  Ask yourself, “what is my voice telling about me?”.

Whether you’re striving to enter this top tier of business, aiming for a higher position within it, or already at the top but not achieving the expected results you were certain would happen, focusing on unlocking your best voice and learning how to empower it to benefit your life is of equal importance.  Have people told you that you’re a shoo-in for the job, yet it remains elusive?  Have you built the perfect resume that reflects the requirements and experience necessary for the top job and yet you continue to be passed over?  Do you find yourself wondering why others are moving up with perhaps less qualifications than you?  This is the time to consider the things that don’t show up on a resume or CV.  The truth is, it’s been proven that the majority of our perception by others stems from the sound and quality of our speaking voice, regardless of our words or job performance.  Yet it probably has had 0% of your attention and education.  The good news is that it’s never too late.
