How to Present Yourself for Executive Impact

Your appearance shouldn't mimic power. It should broadcast it before you speak.

THE PROBLEM

People keep telling you to "dress the part," like leadership is a costume party and you forgot your mask.

You don't need a costume; you need a signature.

THE CHEAT CODE

Don't dress the part. Design your presence.

Signal authority, clarity, and self-possession without opening your mouth.

⚡ WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW

Use the box below to define your Executive Identity Aesthetic:

Pick one look or detail that makes you feel unmistakably powerful (a silhouette, a color, a texture, a signature accessory).
Name the feeling it evokes in you -- authority, clarity, precision, control.
Commit to using that element in your next 2-3 high-stakes moments.

THE TRAP

Don't try to dress like your CEO. That's cosplay, not strategy.

YOUR SHADOW WORK

Write your reflections in the box below.

What outfit makes me feel like I run the building?
What identity am I communicating right now -- and is it deliberate?
When did I start "toning down," and who was that supposed to comfort?

THE STRATEGIC TRUTH

In rooms where decisions move fast, people use shortcuts to assess who's serious.

A consistent, intentional look becomes a signal: "This one's already operating at the next level."

Write your script

Don't dress the part -- design your presence: the way you signal authority, clarity, and self-possession without opening your mouth.

EXAMPLE:

"[Internal Only] I've been refining my executive presence to better align with my leadership trajectory. The details aren't accidental -- they're intentional signals of readiness."
