What if executive presence has nothing to do with how you look in a room and everything to do with how aware you are in your own body? Presence-based leadership coach Bradley McDevitt joins Lori Adams-Brown to explore why trust is built somatically, not just strategically, and why the discomfort you feel in a meeting might be pointing you directly toward your greatest growth.

•


Why executive presence has shifted from gravitas to availability and agency




•


How trust is built through felt experience in the body, not through logic alone




•


What theater and embodied play can teach leaders about navigating uncertainty
