You know that first impressions matter... but how you sound is a major part of that first impression. When you have the title, you need the credibility and confidence to back it up. And that comes with understanding how you sound while speaking. In today's episode, I'm sharing the three simple changes I help my clients make that make the biggest difference in their confidence and how they sound. The best part? You can make these changes on your own, starting today. And I'll teach you how.

What does it take to actually have gravitas as a leader? If you're frustrated trying to figure out what commanding a room or showing teeth actually means in practice, this is the video for you.

In this video, I am covering what each of the six components of gravitas means, using Sylvia Ann Hewlett's framework. Using psychology and social perception, you'll learn what each component means, how it shows up in leadership, and what behaviors you need to start doing to demonstrate that you have gravitas, too. --Get The Gravitas Guide:www.christinaaidy.com/gravitasguide --Take the free presence quiz & find out what impression you're already making:www.christinaaidy.com/quiz --Get the executive presence workshop so you have a custom 14-day roadmap to start showing up with more confidence & better presence:www.christinaaidy.com/executivepresenceworkshop
