The Executive Advantage: Influence That Actually Works at the Top
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Influence is the #1 topic that comes up in the coaching room, and not just for aspiring leaders. Even experienced senior executives often say the same thing: influencing at the highest levels feels harder than it should. In this episode, Elizabeth Freedman breaks down why that is, and what leaders can do to shift the effort they’re putting in, without overexplaining, overpreparing, or overthinking.
You’ll learn:
- Why influence at the executive level is multi-dimensional
- The subtle mistake of communicating to roles instead of people
- The hidden cost of compensation strategies like overpreparing, escalating and too much detail
- Three simple, practical shifts leaders can make today to increase executive influence
For those looking to sharpen their executive presence and increase impact across stakeholders, this episode offers a clear, actionable roadmap. Learn more about E-Suite Impact, Elizabeth’s advanced leadership program for senior leaders at the website!
