Where Did My Gravitas Go?

A compelling guide to help introverts overcome their unique leadership challenges by building lasting gravitas in themselves and others The quality of personal gravitas echoes throughout ancient history, but the elements that make up contemporary gravitas are essential in everyday life. Sadly, many of these elements abandon us when we need them the most. And those who are more introverted find gravitas difficult to recover when under pressure in a predominantly extroverted world. From non-executive directors of financial institutions supporting outrageous risks to politicians misbehaving, from patients afraid to speak up for themselves to managers, coaches, and families in disagreement, there are many times when we need to be a better version of ourselves to feel better and make a difference. The common train of thought - Either you have it or you don't - isn't so simple. Personal gravitas works at different levels depending on the people and situations you encounter. You can’t fake it because it is a quality that is experienced both externally by others and internally by you. The key to finding your strengths is finding a balance between gravitas and levitas. This book aims uniquely to teach its readers how to coach themselves by using a team of inner archetypal coaches to find gravitas mentally and somatically so that no one will have to ask, Where did my gravitas go?
