Most women in business already understand the financial concept of return on investment (ROI). In today’s competitive marketplace, it is important to invest wisely in assets that are expected to generate a return.

Often, I am told when talking to CEOs that their team members, especially women, are letting themselves down as their presence can undermine their substance. When asked to further explain they often don’t have the language to describe the missing ‘X’ factor. This upsets me as it is prohibiting many talented women from being seen as ‘leadership material’. Great news: we have science measuring tool to identify and language where you may be being misunderstood.

Many high performing professionals now recognise that as the level of challenge and competition increases for leaders they are finding that the technical knowledge, hard work and drive that got them to where they are, is no longer enough to get them to where they need to go tomorrow. They understand that they need that competitive advantage. But what exactly do they need? There is no cookie cutter approach to elevating your presence. To be a brilliant leader who has confidence, presence and influence you need to bring out your best.

The secret is out: an investment in your Executive Presence is an investment in your financial success.

But how do you manifest presence for profit?

Authenticity, inclusiveness, assertiveness and appearances are some of the key components of Executive Presence. In a competitive marketplace over-saturated with talent, Executive Presence allows you to be visible, have an impact and generate a greater ROI, YOU!

When you have the “X” factor, everyone knows it. People naturally gravitate towards you, people listen to you, people follow you and they support you. Presence is the intangible extension of your curriculum vitae – boosting your credibility and sending a message to others that you are authentic, capable, trustworthy and open to building win-win relationships.

We all know when you’ve got it, but how do you measure it?

Never before could you accurately measure your Executive Presence. Now you can! The Ascension Group has brought to Australia the only science-based tool that can measure and validate your Executive Presence.

You’ve already invested in building your credentials, experience and work ethic,  how are you going to surpass the plateau to reap a greater ROI? Investing in your presence will allow you to be noticed and rewarded for doing the work you love.

THE ASCENSION GROUP

The Ascension Group works with top companies across the APEC region to help female talent step into leadership roles. While having women as leaders is widely linked to better organisational performance, they face multiple challenges getting to that level. For many of them, their missing ‘X-factor’ is not their IQ or EQ, but rather their PQ^®, their presence quotient^®. With a focus on Executive Presence, our Group supports gifted, driven women to transcend these barriers for greater influence using a unique all-in-one approach. It combines an internal process (exploring leadership traits and behaviours for professional growth) with the external (improving image, brand and style). Our services enable companies to attract, retain and develop women who deserve success while championing gender diversity for greater results. The Ascension Group was founded by Melissa Lewis.
