HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, August 15, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Career Ladder – Why Do Some Get Left Behind?

Houston, TX

We often think that hard work, skill and focus are all that we need for career success. While they are obviously important, it turns out that there is another factor that plays just as large of a part. In a 2012 survey from the Center for Talent Innovation in New York, over 250 senior executives cited “executive presence” as an essential component in getting ahead. It accounted for, on average, 25% of what it takes to get promoted.

The three main components of executive presence are: appearance, communication and confidence. These are the three main development areas of any sound business etiquette program. “Your presentation, finessing and communication skills translate into Presence, Credibility and Personal Power”, says Cherita Metzger, etiquette expert from England, and founder of Elegant Manners International based in Houston. Why do some people seem to move quickly up the corporate ladder while others with equal qualifications get left behind? “Often the difference can be attributed to their ability to project a credible presence. Making savvy introductions between business associates, according proper precedence, and even controlling the messages our body language convey are vital tools in exhibiting a credible presence”, says Metzger.
