Building Professional Presence

This instructor-led training is a short, practical session designed to help professionals assess and strengthen their professionalism in preparation for interviewing a leader from another department. The class focuses on professional readiness—how participants present themselves, communicate, and prepare for professional conversations—before engaging in an “Interview a Leader” assignment. Through self-reflection and discussion, participants evaluate their professional presence (e.g., LinkedIn profile, headshot, email signature) and consider how these elements shape first impressions and credibility. The session intentionally bridges professionalism behaviors to real-world application, positioning professionalism as a critical foundation for leadership growth and effective cross-functional engagement.
