Are you acting in a way that leads others to see you the way you want to be perceived as a leader? Do you relate to any of these concerns?  I was promoted rapidly earlier on in my career but now I seem to have reached a plateau.  My boss says my work is excellent but doesn’t see me as suitable for promotion.  My boss says I need to raise my profile with the senior leadership team. I’ve been doing what he suggested but it isn’t making a difference.  How can I been seen as a peer now by the directors/managers who I previously reported to?  I’m ambitious and want to be promoted to a senior position. How do I prepare? We cover three key areas you can focus on to develop your leadership presence starting today. Benefits  Easier to attract opportunities.  More confidence.  Improve your authentic impact.  Be more influential without direct authority.  Be perceived by others more positively and as more credible in your role (particularly for senior roles).
