Perfect Presence
To Improve Your Executive Presence:
*Sit on one hand if you gesture excessively
*Avoid interruptions by counting to four before you reply
*Stand or sit large to demonstrate you take up space
*Use few qualifiers as they imply lack of confidence
*Don’t clasp your hands behind your back because you’ll
look deceptive
*Practice a firm handshake
