Authentic Presence in Executive Communication: The Playbook for Communicating with Impact Times of Change

Authentic Presence in Executive Communication is a practical business guide for leaders, specialists, and project leads working in complex organisations where influence often matters more than formal authority. High-performing professionals will learn how to stay connected under pressure and help work move forward. Authentic Presence in Executive Communication is a practical business guide for leaders, specialists, and project leads working in complex organisations where influence often matters more than formal authority. When pressure rises, even highly capable professionals can over-explain, tighten their tone, soften too much, or try to sound more certain than they feel. The result is familiar: messages that do not land, useful input that arrives too late, and work that slows through hesitation, polite agreement, or rework. Written by a strategic communications leader and advisor with 20 years of experience, Trine Bastian shows how ‘groundedness’ changes what others are able to read from us, how it invites stakeholder engagement, and how it helps conversations create clarity, trust, and forward movement when the stakes are real. Drawing on real-world examples, interviews, and practical tools, the book explores how pressure shapes communication, and how conversations either open up or close down when it matters most. High-performing professionals will learn how to stay clear, credible, and connected under pressure, make their intent easier to read, and create conversations that build trust, surface truth earlier, and help work move forward.
