The Future of Leadership Visibility

December 01, 2025

Let me spill the tea on something we have to fix.

For too long, executive presence has been boxed into a narrow definition—how you show up in the room. But in a business climate shaped by tech disruption, trust gaps, and talent wars, that definition is officially outdated.

In this solo episode, I’m unpacking what I call Executive Presence 4.0—a new model for leadership visibility where your entire leadership team becomes a coordinated, credible signal of your company’s value. And if your company is still stuck in 2.0? You’re leaving trust, talent, and opportunities on the table.

This isn’t a trend—it’s a shift. And if you want your company to stay competitive, this episode is your wake-up call.

Here’s what we get into:

  • Why traditional executive presence is no longer enough

  • How we evolved from the IBM era to the influence era

  • The four versions of executive presence (and where most companies are stuck)

  • What Executive Presence 4.0 looks like in action

  • The 3 leadership signals every company must align (and what happens when they don’t)

  • How visibility gaps cost you talent, investors, and market trust

  • What it means to move from a one-voice brand to a surround-sound signal
