Executive Communication in Action · Track 1 · Executive Presence & Meeting Flow
Presence is not what you feel. It is what the room reads — and you can manage it.
The problem
You know what a well-run meeting feels like — and what the other kind costs you. This is not about being more confident. It is about what the room reads when you open: not your inner state, but the signals you manage. You are always being read. The only question is whether you manage it, or leave it to chance.
Why now
The AI that summarises the meeting builds its record from the same signals you give the people. It reads structure — or confusion — from how you open. Manage the frame, and you manage both readers at once.
The thinker — your lens
The lens is theirs; the practice is yours. You meet the thinker in an original reading, see the idea in use, then make it your own.
Presence is a performance — not fake, but read. You meet the idea in a short original reading, then put it to work on your own openings.
The instrument
Not small talk. The frame. The specific moves that produce what a room reads as authority.
What you leave with
Who conducts it
Sandra M. Szwarc, M.Sc. has spent 35 years training executives to construct meaning under pressure — across finance, industry, energy and healthcare, in four languages. Strategic Narratives is where that practice meets the AI era: the machine can describe; you decide what the data means.

The other doors
Executive Presence & Meeting Flow is one of five Mini-Masterclasses in Executive Communication in Action. Each is a door: roughly 90 minutes, one usable tool, sold on its own or as the full program.
Honest, deliberate influence — build the case that lands, not just the case that is right.
Turn a chart into a decision the room can act on — and own the AI's draft.
Know which rung you are on — and bring a hard conversation back down before it breaks.
Close on interests, not positions — and design follow-through that survives the week.
Begin
Join the next cohort, bring it to your team, or take it as a standalone. Part of the ECA full program — also available on its own.
No. It is about signal management — the moves that produce what a room reads as authority. Confidence is a by-product, not the method.
Yes — and in some ways it matters more there. The session uses both in-person and Zoom scenarios.
No. It stands alone, and it is the recommended starting point for the full program.
The next cohort is mid-August 2026. Small by design.
