Authentic gravitas - Rebecca Lianne Newton

'Gravitas must be caused by an Agent acting constantly according to certain laws, and Rebecca Newton has found those laws. It doesn't take confidence to matter, but it does take courage' SETH GODIN

'A powerful, practical resource for people looking to bring their best self to work, and for leaders who want to equip others to do the same.' MELISSA DAIMLER

Having a powerful, meaningful impact on others is not about being
the most dominant person in the room; it's about being intentional,
curious, and courageous.

Organizational psychologist and executive coach Rebecca Newton has found
that even her most successful clients still want more of one quality:
gravitas. They want their words to carry weight, to have a positive,
lasting impact on those around them.

Gravitas can seem like an
elusive, intangible quality, but it isn't about adopting the style of
another or being someone you're not. Newton draws on extensive research
and experience coaching business leaders to show what underpins
authentic gravitas and how anyone can develop it. She presents the
counterintuitive idea that in order to be valued, we shouldn't spend all
our time and energy trying to stand out from the crowd; instead, we
should focus on the crowd - connecting with others and understanding their needs in order to make a significant difference.

Newton debunks the myths of gravitas and gives readers the practical tools to develop it by:

*
Minimizing the gaps between intention, action, and impact

*
Remaining true to yourself while adapting to work successfully with people who have different styles

*
Choosing
to be courageous regardless of how confident you feel - as you engage in
courageous behaviours, confidence naturally builds

Authentic
gravitas extends beyond commanding presence in the room during a key
meeting; it's about the small things you can do beforehand, during, and
in all the spaces in between - to be someone who genuinely adds
substantive value in the workplace and beyond.
