What This Focus Area Builds

These are the capabilities the Intensive develops. Which of them the work concentrates on is set with your Leadership Faculty member, from where you actually need to grow.

    The first 250 milliseconds: walk, posture, eye contact, pace

    Stillness, silence, and clarity under questioning

  3. 03

    Cutting hedging and over-explaining from your speech

  4. 04

  5. 05

    Recovering the room when you lose it
