Ep. 47 - The Communication Habits That Define Great Leaders with Dr.Alexa Chilcutt
What does it really mean to have executive presence and
how much of leadership comes down to the way we communicate?
In this episode of the CivilTalk Podcast, we down with Dr. Alexa Chilcutt, an executive communication expert, coach, author, and leadership educator whose work focuses on executive presence, strategic communication, and leadership development.
Alexa is the co-author of The Presence Principle: Embodying Executive Presence to Lead with Impact, which explores how leaders can develop presence and influence while remaining authentic to who they are.
Together, Alexa and Topacio discuss what executive presence actually looks like in practice, the subtle communication behaviors that shape how others perceive us, and the gap that can exist between how we intend to come across and how others actually experience us.
They also explore trust, self-awareness, body language, confidence, and the everyday interactions that ultimately shape our relationships and our ability to lead.
Because leadership isn't only about what you say.
It's also about how people experience you when you say it.
