The Building Gravitas in the Workplace Training Course by Imperial Corporate Training Institute is a specialised executive leadership training course designed to help professionals develop presence, credibility, and authority in professional environments. Gravitas is widely recognised as a defining quality of effective leaders, enabling them to inspire confidence, influence decisions, and communicate with clarity under pressure. This course provides a structured framework that supports participants in understanding the behavioural, psychological, and communication elements that contribute to professional gravitas while offering practical tools to apply these skills immediately in workplace interactions.
In today’s competitive corporate landscape, technical expertise alone is no longer sufficient for leadership success. Organisations increasingly expect leaders to demonstrate composure, decisiveness, emotional intelligence, and the ability to command attention without dominating conversations. This training course explores these dimensions through experiential learning, self-reflection exercises, scenario-based simulations, and evidence-based leadership techniques. Participants will gain insights into body language, tone management, cognitive confidence, executive communication strategies, and behavioural consistency all essential components of sustained workplace influence. By the end of the programme, individuals will possess a refined professional presence that supports career progression, stakeholder trust, and organisational impact.
