In their new book on leadership, which expands our understanding of emotional intelligence, Jane Firth and Andrea Zintz deconstruct the mysteries of presence and reconstruct them into actionable skills for leaders.

What if executive presence isn't the mystery it has been made out to be? There is no shortage of information or opinions on increasing one's executive presence. But get ready. In Grit, Grace and Gravitas you will learn how grace, and the way it enhances the impact of your grit and your gravitas, is the game-changing strength of exemplary leadership and executive presence.

- You will have a more compelling and impactful presence-your presence will evolve and be a contribution in ways it has never been before.

- You will be a more effective leader-you will have the keys to bringing out the best in yourself and those you lead.
