What Is Executive Presence?
Executive Presence is how leaders earn trust, inspire followership, and create impact. Sloan’s definition is unique:
Commanding positive attention through our ability to communicate
confidence, clarity, connection, and influence.

The Sloan EPI Model
We develop leaders using our simple but powerful four-part framework:
Somatic Presence
How you physically show up—your posture, tone, pace, and presence.
Mental Presence
Focused, concise, strategic thinking that drives clarity.
Emotional Presence
Staying grounded, reading the room, and navigating tension with empathy.
Charismatic Presence
Creating positive impact, inspiring action, and owning the moment.
