Rebecca's Clients Include
Authentic Gravitas
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.
Gravitas can seem like an elusive, intangible quality, but it isn’t about adopting the style of another or being someone you’re not. Rebecca draws on extensive research and experience coaching business leaders to show what underpins authentic gravitas and how anyone can develop it.
