What exactly is executive presence — and how do you develop your own, authentic version of it?

In this episode of The Self-Led Leader, I break down the four pillars of executive presence: how you show up, how you communicate, how you lead others, and how you present yourself. You’ll learn why executive presence matters for career growth, leadership influence, and personal confidence — plus you'll learn a ton of practical strategies you can use to start building your own unique style of leadership presence, starting today.

Whether you're in a leadership role or stepping into one, this episode will help you develop the skills, the mindset, and the clarity to be seen, heard, and trusted at that next level.

What you’ll learn:

• The true definition of executive presence (it’s not what you think)

• 4 core areas to assess and develop

• Simple strategies to strengthen your confidence, clarity, and communication

• How to identify your current strengths and areas for growth

• Why executive presence isn’t about perfection but about intentional leadership

🎧 Tune in, reflect, and take your next step toward showing up as the leader you're meant to be.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jasmine Escalera for an open, honest, and raw conversation where we talk about what really happens when you hit a turning point in your life or career — and know it’s time to change.

We go beyond the usual personal development talk and unpack the emotional reality of reinvention: the discomfort, the identity shifts, the mindset traps, and the breakthroughs that shape the path to becoming who you truly are (and who you choose to be).

If you’re feeling like you're stuck, like there's more for you, like the life you're living now isn’t the one that’s meant to take you forward… then this episode is for you.

Some of the highlights we explore include:

• What transformation actually looks and feels like
• Why mindset shifts are only part of the story
• How to navigate the “in-between” of who you were and who you’re becoming
• The power of self-trust, reinvention, and leading from your truth

This is the conversation you need if you’re on the edge of something bigger — and ready to step into your next level with clarity, confidence, and alignment.

In this episode, I explain the foundation of self-leadership and dive into why presence starts in your nervous system, not in your title or your strategy.

If you're ready to learn what it means to lead yourself authentically and calmly, especially under pressure or with uncertainty, then you won't want this episode.

This is where leadership begins: not with performance, but with presence.

Whether you're leading a team or simply trying to show up for yourself with more clarity, this episode will help you move from reactivity to regulation—and from pressure to personal power.
