You know what I hear from senior leaders behind closed doors more than anything else? “Our leaders struggle to communicate well when it matters most.”

And here’s what I always tell them: that’s not a presentation skills problem. That’s a positioning problem.

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why most communication training is failing your leaders—and what it actually takes to build executive presence that performs under pressure. I’m breaking down the outdated myths about polish and performance, and showing you what real executive influence looks like in today’s economy: credibility, clarity, and the ability to shape perception in high-stakes, high-visibility moments.

What You’ll Learn:

• The real reason your communication strategy isn’t landing

• How executive presence gets misunderstood and misapplied

• The leadership identity questions every exec must answer

• How to position your leaders as trusted signals to the market

• Why visibility without clarity is costing you revenue, reputation, and retention
