[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does one display more gravitas? What is gravitas? I am a young 30’s female WFH and well-regarded. It was the only weakness cited on my recent review. I do not giggle or upspeak. I don’t flip my hair. Thank you for your suggestions. What worked for you?[/quote] IMO, gravitas comes from 3 things: 1. Subject matter expertise. Your knowledge needs to be comprehensive and authoritative. 2. How you present that expertise (confidently, articulately, efficiently, with bonus for class/education signals). 3. Your personal presentation. Easiest to manage--the only unacceptable approach to appearance or personal presentation is frivolity or undue eagerness (trying too hard). I once saw a female law firm partner absolutely command a room full of male partners and Fortune 50 execs, despite being by far the least "put together" in wardrobe and appearance. She dominated them with knowledge and presentation--it was awesome.[/quote]
