WE HELP BUILD EXCEPTIONAL LEADERS.
Executive Presence
Executive presence may not propel you to the next level,
but lacking it can hold you back.
People who have executive presence possess the “it—or wow-factor.” When you encounter them, you know it. Within seconds you’re impressed, intrigued, engaged and want to learn more – and maybe even do business with them in the future. In every setting and every environment, they’re great leaders, power players and innovative thinkers, and it always comes through and always makes the difference.
Our EP solution aligns three key success factors that, when perfected, enable you to intentionally present and project a total package by tapping into the ABCs: appearance, behavior, and communication. Done right, you’ll be one step closer to the next level and be able to operate at your fullest capability every day.
Appearance
If you want to be the part, you need to look the part. Whether time, desire, know-how, or resources are holding you back, ShowUp! will help you gain the valuable personal styling and wardrobe management support you need. Whether you want to:
Make certain that you are strategically dressing "on brand";
Look and feel confident and authentic every time you walk out the door for work
Streamline your closet so you aren't overwhelmed in the morning or "never have anything to wear;"
Shop for and build a working wardrobe that saves you time and money
Dress for your business casual culture but still look like a leader;
Find just the right power outfit for a meeting or special event/occasion - we've got you covered.
Behavior
In order to get to the next level – and to ultimately become an exceptional leader, it is crucial to carry and conduct yourself in a manner that builds rapport, strengthens relationships, and garners respect. Being perceived as a leader starts from the moment you walk into a room and continues through your conversations, meetings, meals, social events, and even the elevator. Whether you want to:
Know how to command a room, network like a power player or navigate a six-course business meal;
Project powerful body language that signals you're in control;
Interact, intermingle, and conduct yourself as the successful leader you are;
Be assertive and show authority; while also displaying grace and gravitas- we've got you covered.
Communication
You’ve got the look, refined your behavior, and now it’s time to nail the chatter to bring it all together into one high-performing package.. Speak, project, and engage like a pro, and you’ll be instantly perceived as a strong, confident, and capable leader – and that makes all the difference. Together, we’ll tackle the ins and outs of effective, powerful communication. Whether you want to:
Confidently convey your ideas with clarity, conviction, and charisma;
Effectively influence and persuade others or gain buy-in;
Successfully facilitate meetings, deliver powerful presentations, or conduct solid media interviews;
Avoid rambling on or using filler words (e.g. um, ah, okay, or like);
Engage in conversations and small-talk;
Nail an interview;
Strategically self-promote without seeming arrogant;
Know how to deal with difficult people and situations;
Know how to build rapport and foster relationships;
...we've got you covered.

Annette is a true professional and very well known in her industry. I met Annette several years ago at a women’s conference. I enjoyed listening to her presentation and I felt connected with her. I reached out to her recently to come speak to the managers at my hotel about Professional Dress for Leadership Success. She was very engaging and did her homework as to what is important to the Marriott Brand as well as the environment in our hotel. The team really enjoyed the presentation and got some great take aways to implement in their daily routine. I would recommend Annette as a speaker to enhance employee satisfaction in the workplace.

Annette Harris’ Power Up Your Personal Brand half-day training session was amazing and I would definitely invite ShowUp! back. Her session scored a 4.9 out of 5 in each of our corporate training program evaluation areas. According to one participant, ‘this program is so good it stands on its own; great for this department and should be for all employees

Recently, I had Annette conduct a workshop with a group of CEOs and business owners. They all raved about her ability to raise their level of awareness on executive presence and image, and how she educated them on its importance in business. The best part was the number of solid take-aways she gave them that they could immediately implement and use to enhance their brand. I am definitely planning to bring her back to talk to another group of CEOs and business owners.
