WHY EXECUTIVE PRESENCE

Whether you’re a professional woman seeking next-level promotion, greater financial rewards and/or deserved influence, our programs are for you.

To be a true leader, you need to take ownership of specific qualities, which enable you to engage, inspire and motivate others to act.

While many women understand that Executive Presence is critical, they get stuck on the ‘how’ and fail to reach their full potential.

Our data and insights are for you if:

  • Your hard work is being overlooked because you’re sending out conflicting messages, either verbally or non-verbally.
  • You default to the smaller game of ‘blending in’ at meetings, despite knowing you’re capable of value adding.
  • Your emotions derail decision-making and responses, especially during a crisis.
  • You struggle to open doors, put your hand up for roles, negotiate better pay, and generally, to have those difficult conversations.
  • You’re not power dressing to convey: ‘I’m a woman who means business’.
You might have the qualifications to be considered for your dream job, but you won’t get far unless you signal that you’re ‘leadership material’ and that you have what it takes.

MEET MELISSA LEWIS FOUNDER,
THE ASCENSION GROUP

Melissa Lewis, the founder of The Ascension Group, is Australia’s leading expert on ‘the power of a woman’s presence’. Her fascination began as a little girl when she spent many hours in her grandfather’s couture boutique learning exactly how style and personal image can elevate a woman’s confidence. Today, Melissa has continued that legacy of empowerment by enabling talented women to step into leadership roles by cultivating their Executive Presence.

Working with Melissa has been inspirational, she is so engaging, professional, encouraging and is your biggest supporter! I respect that Melissa also tells it how it is, there is no “fluff”! Melissa has helped me to recognise through the Bates 360 Tool how I was being perceived and my opportunities to further develop my presence and ability to have influence with my team and clients. This was both confronting and so rewarding. I look forward to continuing to work with Melissa to grow and develop, both professionally and personally!

THE SECRET IS OUT: AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR EXECUTIVE PRESENCE IS AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR FINANCIAL SUCCESS.

Are you an aspiring or already successful female leader who’s ready to take things to the next level?

1

TAKE CONTROL

Be authentically you while taking control of your action, appearance, voice and image. Impressions are based on people’s physical and emotional connection with you. They set the terms of all interactions.

2

UNDERSTAND

Uncover the values that drive your leadership wisdom. By understanding what ignites and excites you in your career and life, you’ll be guided to make the right choices.

3

LEARN

Learn to have a calm, self-possessed mind during challenges. Having confidence means you’ll be remembered for your ability, not your emotional state. You will be able to make bold decisions and act decisively.

4

INFLUENCE

Earn the trust of others by the way you carry yourself professionally. Explore the quality of your conversations with others, and the impact it’s having on your relationships.

5

MASTER

Master the art of articulating your own brand – your skills, talents, experience and credibility you have built over the years.
