Research-Backed Methodology
Every technique we teach is grounded in communication science, performance psychology, and leadership research—synthesized in The Presence Principle.
Transform How You Lead.
Elevate How Others See You.
Research-backed executive presence workshops that develop authentic leadership, powerful communication skills, and strategic influence—taught by the authors of The Presence Principle.
Our Approach
Dr. Alexa Chilcutt and Dr. Carl DuPont bring a unique interdisciplinary methodology to leadership development, combining communication science with performance expertise. Drawing from their book The Presence Principle: Embodying Executive Presence to Lead with Impact (Routledge, 2026), their workshops equip professionals with immediately applicable skills grounded in rigorous research and real-world application.
What sets our approach apart: We don't just teach concepts—we help you embody them. Through the Vision, Values, Voice framework detailed in The Presence Principle, participants develop authentic leadership presence that aligns with who they are while expanding their sphere of influence.
