Executive presence isn’t about faking confidence; it’s about sending the right signals.

And no, that doesn’t mean standing like a superhero before your big meeting.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Scott Hutcheson about how biology, not bravado, drives leadership impact. His argument? Leadership isn’t about personality or charisma. It’s about biology. And the good news is, biology can be influenced.

We’re talking:

- Small behavioral tweaks that signal warmth, competence, and gravitas

- What actually builds trust and credibility on Zoom

- How to be deliberate with your behavior without being robotic

If you’ve ever wondered why some people just own the room (even the virtual ones), this episode breaks down the signals they’re sending and how you can do it too, without pretending to be someone you’re not.
