About Us
The Executive Presence experts
25 years ago, Laurel Herman spotted the X-factor, the mystical magic quality that made some stand high above others. They effortlessly attracted people and attention, commanded space and fast-tracked success.
She intuitively knew how to help others develop this too and founded Positive Presence to do so.

Laurel still leads our team of hand-picked specialists in all aspects of personal and professional effectiveness. Their combined expertise, experience and wisdom provides a range of consultancy fit for today's working world - and tomorrow’s too.
Laurel's personal values are integral to our work, our team and our brand.
Integrity. Honesty. Sensitivity. Authenticity. Empathy.

Who For
Positive Presence is the smart consultancy for smart people
With a smart approach
You become your own unique Positive Presence, not a stereotypical version, but one true to yourself and your values.
You get noticed, heard, respected and remembered, able to inspire, impact and influence others.
With a smart process
Your Presence is a decision made by others based on their image of you. It's formed from all they see and hear.
We optimise each individual facet of how you look, sound and behave, then curate them collectively and appropriately so you always make the right impression.
ExPO Options
For individuals and for groups
Whether for individuals, groups or teams, the ExPO process follows the same logical sequence, its effectiveness well proven by so many confident, successful Positive Presence alumni across the Globe.
-
ExPO is a personal developmental journey through increased awareness of yourself and others, reflection and new thinking.
We all have a presence, our own Presence.
It is unique, our very own, our identity, our ‘brand’.
Similarly, when becoming a Positive Presence, it needs to be your own version too - authentic and appropriate to you, your life ... and to your aspirations.
For the best and long-lasting results, we work at your own pace so any adjustments become natural and personally-authentic over time.
Always relevant and focussed on you, we work with you, and for you.
Informing, advising, counselling, listening, mentoring, reflecting, coaching, challenging, and supporting.
Whatever is needed when it's needed.

The team as a whole, and each member individually, need strong Executive Presence to be credible, respected and valued.
The perception of each other and of the team as a whole affects communication, cooperation and collaboration. It inevitably impacts on the inter-team dynamic, relationships, performance and outcomes - and externally.
With the need for diversity, inclusion and equity, the challenges have significantly increased too.
A pleasure and an experience that was both rewarding and enjoyable. Laurel won every member around and now all have great enthusiasm for Positive Presence with results clear to see.
