Communication Expert Speaks on How Professionals Build Executive Presence & Read a Room
Executive presence isn’t a title, it’s how you communicate, influence, and lead under pressure. In this PM Career Growth episode, Professor and executive educator Dr. Josh Hammonds (Rollins College; consultant to Uber, Paylocity & more) breaks down the science of credibility, influence, and “reading the room” so Project & Program Managers can drive decisions, de-escalate tense meetings, and show leadership on Zoom and in the boardroom.
You’ll learn:
- What “Executive Presence” really means (credibility, trust, competence, likability) and why it’s the modern rebrand of ethos
- The 4 listening styles on every team (People, Action/Achiever, Explorer/Strategist, Fixer/Detail) and how to tailor your message to each
- How to encode ideas clearly (brain → words) so you sound decisive, not scattered
- Practical ways to de-escalate a hot room (be the thermostat, not the thermometer)
- Micro-expressions & body language 101 to truly “read the room”—even through a screen
- Building presence at every career level: aspiring PMs, new PMs, and seasoned leaders
- When to say “no” without losing trust; how reliable follow-through builds authority
- Video & Zoom presence: hooks, agenda control, transitions, posture, eye contact, audio
If you want to move from task driver to trusted strategic leader, this conversation gives you the language, the frameworks, and the reps.
