I would have to say that confidence is the most important characteristic needed today to enrich executive presence and be perceived as a promotable leader.

You know you are capable of so much more. But you have become such a reliable cog in the machinery that it never occurs to your superiors to offer you a promotion.

YDo you have areas in your life or work where you feel chronic resistance on the path to success and productivity?

You may be complaining that you aren’t getting the visibility you need or the opportunity for that next big promotion – yet you aren’t promoting yourself in your industry by sharing your expertise and experience.

There is one problem we’ve all encountered that can be simultaneously frustrating and disappointing.

As 19th century writer John Ruskin said, “A thing is worth precisely what it can do for you.” Unless those around you recognize your everyday contributions, they have no way of realizing your importance.

By using centrifugal force, gravity, and the science of simple fulcrums and natural leverage, for example, two people can move a block of granite that weighs hundreds of pounds.

If you want to seize the day and capitalize on your window of opportunity to move up in your career you have to be fully prepared to jump at the chance.

If everyone on your team has the same skill set then it limits your capability and flexibility. So I chose people and designed teams with a symbiotic outcome in mind.

Steve Jobs helped to harness technologies that improve the quality of our lives and the lives of generations to come.
