Tips to develop an executive presence

Whether you’re a few (or many) years away from the corner office or you’re already established in the C-suite, it’ll benefit your career and relationships to develop an executive presence. That doesn’t mean you have to have a fancy watch, carry a briefcase, or have a fat expense account. Executive presence has far more to do with what’s on the inside. By adopting these behaviors, you’ll develop a powerful executive presence that will help you climb the ranks.

Soft skills to help your career hit the big time

You’ve got a reputation for being the best coder/editor/mechanic/whatever, but it amounts to little if you don’t work well with others. Some of the most important professional skills for workers and employers alike simply can’t be taught in a classroom or measured on paper. These traits are called soft skills and they’re more crucial to your job search and overall career than you think.
