Professional Presence
What makes some of us successful, while others with the same skill level are left behind? The skills you bring to a position get you the job. The interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence you use will keep you employed. However, to a large extent, your career success will be influenced by factors that affect how others react to you. Effective professional presence includes your appearance, your verbal and non-verbal communication skills, your attitude, and your overall business etiquette. Presenting a professional presence establishes a high degree of consistency that builds confidence. A professional presence promotes credibility, increases rapport, and builds trust.
