Leading with Presence

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Executive presence; we recognize it instantly the moment we are confronted with it... the authors finally succeeded in demystifying the notion of 'presence' and nonverbal behaviour in leadership by establishing a unique connection between vast scientific knowledge and practical tools that will enable leaders to further increase their impact... -- Ronald de Jong, Distinguished Professor of Practice in Business, Tilburg University, Chairman Philips Foundation, Retired Member Executive Committee, Royal Philips In this book a triple synergy comes together; science, experience, and practical applicability, like in the training at RSM and several of their trainings. It is inspiring and reflects where you are. Provides valuable insights and is useful regardless your level of professional experience. -- Kirsten van Benthem, Commerial Manager, Catalyze - Life Science Consultancy Effective communication is key for successful leadership. Yet respective books and seminars tend to only focus on verbal communication, while reducing non-verbal communication to a side-note. This book is therefore a breath of fresh air. It takes non-verbal communication center-stage by marrying science with practice and presenting concrete exercises and how-to-dos. An accessible read that makes it easy to get better at what matters most as a leader: effective communication. -- Professor Dr. Niels Van Quaquebeke, Kuehne Logistics University & University of Exeter Leading with Presence is an invaluable guide for anyone who seeks to ensure that their body and voice contribute to their positive impact. Antonie, Milly and Steffen's collaboration have resulted in a treasure trove of principles, stories and exercises underpinned by thorough scientific evidence that will make you think about and enhance your non-verbal cues in a whole new way. -- Nicola Kleyn, Professor of Corporate Marketing and Dean of Executive Education at Rotterdam School of Management
