Course Description

Do People Pay Attention when You Speak?

You want your words to carry weight, you want people to listen to you, you want to speak with authority, you want to be trusted... you even want to be sought out for your opinions, insights, and advice. You want to influence the people around you.

What you need is gravitas.

And here is where you will learn how to develop it in a simple five-step program.

What are the symptoms?

You know you need to develop more gravitas if people tend to ignore your advice, if people sometimes switch-off when you are speaking, if it seems like they don't trust your judgment.

Who needs gravitas?

If you want to further your career, you need gravitas. It is that commanding impression of authority, judgment, and wisdom that people look to when they want a leader, when they need advice, or when someone has to give them confidence in the future.

That can be you...

Do you want:

  • People to take you seriously?

  • To feel confident among older, more experienced colleagues or clients?

  • To hold the attention of a room full of people?

  • A position of trust, influence, and authority?

  • Your ideas and insights to be welcomed and embraced?

  • Promotion at a young age?

  • People to pay attention and take notice of you?

  • Your career to move forwards and upwards?

Can Gravitas Be Learned?

We recognize gravitas when we encounter a set of attitudes and behaviors that conform to our expectations of authority, credibility, and wisdom. You can learn these attitudes and behaviors, and you will, with this five-step course.

What makes gravitas does depend, to a degree, on the culture and society you live and work in. This course is designed for people in Western, English-speaking cultures. But much of the advice will also be true for other cultures.

Think of the INFLUENCE and IMPACT you can have
when people seek you out and listen to your views.

Your Unconditional, No-questions, 30-Day Guarantee

The best way to assess how valid this material is in your culture is to try it out. I am so confident that this course will change your life that I offer you an unconditional, no questions asked, full 30-day money-back-in-full guarantee. If you don't think these five steps will give you the gravitas to influence and lead others, then just ask me for your money back.
