If you only talk about your own work, you won’t be taken seriously as an executive. Managers and directors are there to complete deliverables, achieve goals, and run operations so executives have time to focus on higher-level topics.

This module is designed to make you “part of the club” by transforming what you talk about and how you talk about it. You will:

• Be recognized for your “executive presence” by thinking like an owner, expressing your opinions, challenging ideas, and knowing when you don’t need to know the details.
• Partner with your boss by contributing to strategy, staffing, risk, and financial discussions.
• Impress executives from other departments by understanding and solving their problems.
• Inspire your team and avoid wasting time and energy by being clear on how and when you will engage and what your expectations are.
