Cultivating Power, Presence & Gravitas as a Female Leader
Take back control & build confidence as a woman in leadership
Dr Mahler believes that confidence is competence and that confidence lies in building the practical, highly effective and immediately applicable skills as practised by the Ancient Romans to achieve Gravitas – the manner of trust and respect. These skills involve the use of the body, gestures, as well as the voice, with solid frameworks of engagement. So, let’s look at what you are doing now, what you could be doing and get practising right away.
Do any of these scenarios ring true as a woman in leadership?
- Not being able to communicate or get your message through, feeling that you just can’t think. Over time you realise you’re losing influence and confidence.
- When attending meetings, feeling like, when you do speak, you are just rambling? You don’t want to dominate the room, but you do have a message to get through and yet can’t seem to find it amongst the noise in the group.
- Sometimes, you’re put on the spot and have to think on your feet. Getting your mind and voice to work in sync to get a message across under pressure can be a challenge that impacts your ability to influence or your credibility as a leader.
In this unmissable seminar, Dr Louise Mahler will share how to shed the burden of self-doubt, and say hello to unshakable confidence! Learn how to command respect, project your intentions effectively, and navigate the workplace with certainty and authority.

Acknowledgement of Country and Introduction
Gravitas & the Body
- Examine the use of the body, the arms, the hands and your expressions
- Understanding the impact and influence that our body has
- Our body is driven by our emotions which are driven by our thinking. Once the body is clear on its job, the rest becomes easier!
- Uncover the power of movement, rest and gestures
Gravitas & the Voice
- Examine your voice
- What are you doing now, what could you be doing instead?
- Our voice’s range, tone, pitch and volume can tell an audience so many things that can either enforce or deplete a message. The challenge is that this is not how we change
- Learn how to Identify and apply the right voice for your communication and completely change the audience’s perspective of you and your message
Short break
Gravitas & Structure
- Whilst it might look like the best speakers wing it, they actually don’t. They have frameworks that serve them no matter whether they have seconds, minutes, hours, days or years to prepare for their presentation
- Structure = confidence
- Learning the process that you can apply anywhere, any time
Bringing it all together
- Once these three are in place, every leader has the ability to have a greater presence, they are actually heard, and they garner greater attention. The more these are in place, the more confidence a leader has…let’s practice!
