That’s absolutely not what executive presence is. People like to make excuses for themselves because it’s easier.

I’ve worked with senior execs of all types and executive presence is 100% a temperamental thing and about behavior, expertise, communication and style.

People cant help but bring superficial identity into everything though can they

It means acting professionally and coming across as knowledgeable and being able to clearly articulate ideas and be persuasive when needed. The last person I had to tell to work on executive presence was a 6’3 white guy.
