Executive Presence, Confidence & Being Seen with Sarah Brummitt
In this episode of Elevate, host Sue Reeve is joined by Sarah Brummitt - executive coach, leadership development specialist, and one of only two people in the world to hold the highest level of image consulting qualification in both the UK and the USA.
Sarah makes a deceptively simple case: being excellent at your job isn't the same as being seen as excellent and closing that gap is what executive presence is really about.
It's a must-listen for any high-achieving woman who has ever been talked over, overlooked, or left out of the conversation. Sarah shares how presence can be learned rather than simply inherited (she was once an excruciatingly shy child with a stutter), the difference between commanding attention and demanding it, and practical, repeatable ways to be heard in the room and on screen.
