What got you here… won’t get you there.
In the boardrooms of the early 2000s, executive presence was a well-guarded formula: confidence, a polished suit, a commanding voice, and just the right amount of detachment. You knew it when you saw it—and if you didn’t look the part, you probably didn’t get it.
But in 2024, everything has changed. The pandemic, social movements, hybrid work, generational shifts, and the rise of authenticity have completely rewritten the rules. And if you're still playing by the old ones, you will get left behind.
In this episode, Dr. Bray takes you inside the new world of executive presence—what it looks like now, why it's changing, and how to master it without losing who you are. We’ll explore:
Whether you’re aiming for the C-suite, coaching emerging leaders, or simply navigating how to show up more powerfully in your role, this episode is your blueprint for presence that works in the modern workplace.
This isn’t about fitting into the mold. It’s about breaking it with purpose.
QUOTES BY DR. BRAY
"Being real is the win."
"Respect for others... involves acquiring a body of knowledge that allows you to understand the lived experience of those whose identity or heritage is different from your own."
"People now gravitate more towards leaders who listen and learn from others before they make decisions."
