"Professional Presence"

You know it when you see it.  The person with "professional presence" walks into a room and everyone takes notice.  Without saying a word, she exudes confidence, competence and trustworthiness.  And when she does speak, people want to listen and cooperate.  What could you achieve if you projected that kind of presence?  Studies show that you would be more effective, better respected and more in control of your career.  Executive coach and consultant Chakisse Newton will give you the keys to creating a professional presence that helps you get respect, get results and get head.  You will learn to: 

1. Avoid the pitfalls of poor professional presence.

2.  Build an effective professional and personal brand.

3.  Inspire trust and influence others to accept your ideas.

4.  Communicate powerfully both verbally and non-verbally.

Chakisse Newton is an executive coach and the president of Cardinal Consulting, LLC.  She works with people and organizations that want to increase their influence and dramatically improve their performance.  She consults, coaches and speaks - translating her experiences as a sales and marketing executive into practical techniques that help others sell their ideas, communicate with power and achieve personal and professional success.  In 2005 and 2009, Toastmasters International recognized Chakisse as one of the 10 best speakers in the world.  Learn more about Chakisse at her website (www.cardinalconsulting.net), her blog (www.newtonslawofinfluence.com), or connect with her on Twitter at twitter.com/chakisse.
