ATD Dallas Learning & Development SIG

Hosted by Shayna Davis and Yasmyn Chambers




Note: This webinar involves a two-step registration process. First by registering on this website and the second on Zoom. See additional details below.



In today’s economy, companies win or lose based on how credible, trusted, and future-ready they appear to the outside world. Most leaders are developed to perform well internally: to manage teams, execute strategy, and deliver results. But winning in today’s market also requires leaders who can lead well externally by shaping perception, building trust, and representing the organization with clarity and authority. External influence is no longer a personal trait or a communication upgrade, it is a strategic business asset that drives reputation, attracts top talent, strengthens investor and customer confidence, and protects market position in times of rapid technological change.


Key Takeaways

1. A new way to evaluate executive presence as organizational currency.

2. Clear language to distinguish internal leadership effectiveness from external influence.

3. Insight into how L&D can develop leaders as credible, trusted representatives of the brand.
