That's what the Executive & Professional Presence Index - AKA - EPPindex™ is for.

Every person who has ever watched you present has scored you, subconsciously and instantly. Your board scored you at the last meeting. Your team scored you at the town hall. The only thing that's ever been missing is somebody telling you your number and which two or three things are quietly costing you the most.

Everyone Has a Number.
Nobody’s Told You Yours.

The Problem

It’s not about the suit.
It’s about the P&L.
And numbers prove it.

When people hear "executive presence," they think better posture, a sharper jacket, a firmer handshake. That’s image consulting. Executive and professional presence is where communication becomes influence: the ability to convey confidence, clarity, and credibility in every interaction.

The absence of Executive and Professional Presence is costing you. Real dollars.

Research from Grammarly and The Harris Poll estimates that poor communication costs U.S. businesses more than they realize:

  • $1.2 trillion a year - that’s about $12,506 per employee, annually.

  • Teams lose roughly 7.47 hours per week to poor communication, that’s about a whole day and that’s every week for every person.

These are huge, consequential numbers that are hidden in plain sight on your balance sheet.

Companies with strong communicators deliver dramatically higher returns over time. Not on a soft-skills survey. To the bottom line.

The gap between what a leader knows and how a leader lands has a dollar value. Most leaders have simply never been shown the invoice.

The Reframe

Your EQ Was Step One.
Your EPPindex™ Comes Next.

Thirty years ago, nobody in a boardroom said emotional quotient (EQ) or emotional intelligence (EI). Then someone made it measurable, and within a decade it was standard in every serious leadership conversation in the country.

Your EQ is what you perceive.
Your EPPindex™ is how you’re perceived.

EQ tells you how well you read the room. Your EPPindex ™ (Executive & Professional Presence Index) tells you how the room reads you. They’re not the same skill and plenty of leaders are strong in one and weak in the other.

If your organization has spent fifteen years assessing emotional intelligence and never once measured how its leaders actually land, that's not a strike against EQ. It just means you've only been running the diagnostic on half the system.

The Framework

One Score. Five Sections. Twenty Metrics.

"You need more executive presence" is the least useful piece of feedback a leader can receive. So we broke it down.

The EPPindex™ (Executive & Professional Presence Index) scores twenty distinct metrics, each rated 1–10, averaged into a single number: your EPPindex™.

Using our proprietary assessment, our trained expert panel scores how you land when communicating.

Group of people gathered around a table, working together on a project, with some papers and electronic devices on the table.

3. Get scored by the panel. This is the real number. Submit short videos and a panel of vetted communication experts, broadcasters, executive coaches, communications professors, scores all twenty metrics independently and blind to one another. Nobody on the panel knows you, likes you, or reports to you. That's the point.

However you get your score, the instruction is the same: find your two or three lowest metrics, and start there. Ignore the other seventeen for now.

WHY QUARTERLY

Presence Work Is Invisible From the Inside.

You won't feel yourself improving. You'll feel self-conscious and convinced it isn't working, right up until the number moves.

Most clients re-score every ninety days: four evaluations a year, two or three metrics worked at a time. A motivated leader who focuses on a small number of metrics typically moves 1.5–3 points in a year. Nobody moves all twenty at once. They move two or three, several times over.
