Globinar Global Chamber® London Executive Presence: How to Influence, Sell Ideas and Get Buy-In in High-Stakes Moments

You’re probably one of the hardest-working people on your team, yet you're still being overlooked.

Or you’re running your own business and know what you want to say, but in high-stakes conversations, with senior decision makers, clients or stakeholders, it just doesn’t land the way it should.

That’s the gap this session focuses on.

In this 60-minute session, Mark will share a practical introduction to how executive presence actually works, not as a personality trait, but as a set of skills you can build.

You will learn how to:

• Influence stakeholders without formal authority

• Communicate your ideas so they are understood, trusted and acted on

• Show up with the confidence and commercial focus needed in high-stakes environments

This is not about presenting better.

It is about having the clarity, confidence and communication toolkit to get people to buy into your thinking when it matters most.

The session will focus on a small number of practical frameworks you can start applying immediately.
