After extensive research, observations and supported by the experience of working with great leaders, I came to the conclusion that the key to Leadership Presence is the alignment of certain internal and external qualities and competencies.
Contrary to what many professionals think, Leadership Presence has little to do with WHAT you do and much more with WHO you are. It is not about extreme self-confidence, authoritarian behaviour and showing power through which people will trust and ‘worship’ you. It is your quality to really connect with and inspire them. Real Leadership Presence comes from a place where you are closest to your essence, deep inside of you connected. Where, what you experience from within, is coherent with your actions on the outside. When you put this authentic expression of your Self at the service of a sense of purpose that goes beyond your personal interest, you have found the recipe that makes managers great leaders with real Leadership Presence.
Paul supervises executives, senior managers and high potentials to further develop their Leadership Presence and to sharpen their x-factor (see references)
1. LEADERSHIP PRESENCE INTENSIVE
PRESENCE®, LEADERSHIP FROM INSIDE
You will be guided through an intense one-on-one process to further develop your Leadership Presence and sharpen your x-factor.
2. LEADERSHIP INTRODUCTION (1-DAY INTRODUCTION)
EVERYONE IS A LEADER, WITH OR WITHOUT TITLE.
Paul guides you and your team (or peers) to look more closely at your own leadership and x-factor.
3. OFF-SITE LEADERSHIP
Customized for your off-site or team development. Often a ‘Field and Forum’ approach is chosen. Two multi-day Forums with in between a Field period with assignments and applications in the field. (see also references from R. Schneider and F. Italianer)
4. MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL CONSTELLATIONS
Making a change is one thing, but dealing with the transition it evokes is another. Management and organization constellations are a very practical approach to look beyond what is immediately visible and discovering patterns that prevent progress. Paul has been the program director and trainer of the Management and Organizational Constellations program for 10 years. More than a hundred managers and team supervisors have already benefited from the approach to look beyond what is immediately visible. This approach is always tailor-made.
5. THE SYSTEMIC ANALYSIS
Looking at your organization in a different, very effective and efficient way, so that you gain additional knowledge that helps you with your daily decisions. Often there are problems in organizations that, even after all sorts of different interventions, keep reappearing. Problems related to collaboration, team structure, acceptance of leadership, successions of managers that keep on failing or not getting a team going after a reorganization. When this is your reality, a systemic analysis provides you with the extra and additional information you need to come up with real solutions. It also allows for more effective measures to be taken, so you and your team can step out of the vicious circle.
THE DEVELOPMENT STEP FOR:
teams, departments and organizations that have stalled in the usual way of looking at and solving their problems. Leaders who want to be able to make a faster analysis of the deeper dynamics of their team, department or organization.
Managers who want interim management to be effective even after the departure of the interim manager.
METHOD AND APPROACH
By using the systemic interview and analysis technique developed by Paul, a quick overview of the underlying causes of the problem is obtained with the leader and a few employees of the organization or the team. From there, solutions and suggestions for steps to be taken are offered.

1. PRESENCE, LEADERSHIP FROM WITHIN
A leader chooses which mountain will be climbed, a manager ensures that the mountain is climbed. How can you ensure that you become a leader with Presence?
People need clarity. Clarity offers them the safety to climb. They then feel free to demonstrate their talents. Do you provide that clarity? Do you do what you say? How do you create safety for them and how can you create security for yourself to be authentic (daring), and to have a signature of your own?
What change do you have to undergo, which deeper source can you tap into, so that the message you want to convey gets more clarity? So that you create cooperation from respect and inspiration instead of cooperation from necessity or coercion? If you want to develop further in your leadership, this approach is for you!
A leader with Presence can:
- connect with their people and at the same time direct them, create the message and convey it.
- create a culture in which people build together towards a great organization in which they shine.
If people are enabled to shine, they also want to follow and only then you are a true leader; when others are willing to follow you.
With a guiding mission and a walk-your-talk attitude, the leader ensures a safe environment in which the employees experience clarity and freedom to optimally deploy their own capacities. This development step for (senior) managers who want to develop further towards being a leader with their own ‘signature’. Being prepared to look at yourself and dare to take on the challenge, because honest and clear feedback is part of your development.
METHOD AND APPROACH
Paul guides you in an intense one-on-one process to further develop your Leadership Presence and to sharpen your x-factor. This state-of-the-art personal approach is built on the latest insights from psychology, neuroscience, contemplative practice, behavioural sciences and systemic and solution-oriented work. This converts ideas into actual behaviour and creates an inner drive and attitude from which your (executive) leadership takes shape. The principle of immersion is used. By spending three days exclusively, intensively and continuously working on this approach, you must let go of the daily routine so that real transformation can take place!
