Hot Tip: You can demonstrate executive presence in every meeting you attend.  It begins with knowing your value and speaking up.  You’re not just at the meeting to provide coffee and take minutes.  You’re there to contribute.  Never leave a meeting without providing at least one piece of valuable information, a strategic question or an idea.
