Look to see what their employees have been posting about on Glassdoor, and if you can, see what a few of their leaders have posted on LinkedIn. (One of those usually gives some insight into topics that would be relevant!)

Executive Presence. It’s a skill gap in many organizations that I’ve connected with recently and would be easy to design for a 20 min presentation

It's more than a week now and I haven't heard back. Can anyone shed light on the process -- what to expect, timelines, what is the interview process like, etc.

Thanks!
