Gravitas is an ancient word that implies seriousness and dignity. It is innate within all of us when we form good habits around mind, breath, body and voice. In a world of uncertainty, when AI’s exponential growth means that information becomes more accessible, gravitas – and our ability to tap into our humanity as leaders – becomes ever more important.

It is easy to become distracted and overwhelmed, to miss opportunities and miscommunicate. Increasingly, there’s an urgent need to show up with presence – to focus your attention, truly connect in the moment and make real meaning of complex ideas, so that you can take action grounded in values and humanity.

It’s Caroline’s belief that gravitas is within all of us. This event provides a toolkit for centring yourself in meetings, so you can embody presence and credibility in an authentic way.

Learning Outcomes

This event will help you:

  • understand the power of getting out of your head and into your body as a speaker so you can harness your power and the attention of your audience
  • learn how to be deeply present, matching the energy of your audience so you build trust
  • develop tools so that you can respond with grace under pressure – as the Greeks called it, ‘kairos’ – or the ability to rise to the moment (discover why this is the tool that makes for true gravitas in the times we live in)
  • set a personal action to continue building your gravitas via mind, breath, voice and body

Who is this for?

Leaders at all levels who want to increase their presence and ability to create impact and influence.
