Christine Cruzvergara, chief education strategy officer at Handshake, shares tips on how to develop executive presence and improve public speaking skills. Her advice includes observing how senior leaders communicate, tailoring your message to their preferences, and practicing clear and confident delivery.
Christine Cruzvergara has no problem speaking in front of hundreds of people, whether they're college students or CEOs.
But generally, one of the first places to start is to identify the traits and characteristics of your leadership and how they communicate. "How does your CEO or your COO or your VP or your president communicate? What do they tend to focus on?" Cruzvergara says. "Once you know that, you can start to formulate for yourself how you frame your messages, whether that's written or whether that's verbal," she says.Cruzvergara gives this example of working at Handshake: "I share this with all my direct reports — we're in an environment where we have leadership that really prefers punchline first, context later."
Ask your manager for guidance when you're preparing a presentation. Knowing how to deliver information in the best way decisionmakers will take in those details can help bolster your executive presence and get buy-in from important stakeholders."People are smart," she says. "They have the right facts. They know how to get the data. They have all of the good pieces there, but it's the delivery of it" that needs work.
