Executive Presence is not just about speaking well. It is about showing up with impact.

Executive Presence is not just about speaking well. It is about showing up with impact.

On 24 August 2026, Shiffy Srivastava facilitated an engaging Executive Presence session with the Senior Leadership Team at EY.

The session went beyond conventional communication skills, exploring:

Gravitas.

Owning the room.

Executive communication.

Influence.

Leadership presence.

Thinking on your feet.

Creating impact without dominating the room.

One powerful takeaway:

Your designation gives you authority. Your presence makes people feel it.

The session challenged leaders to look beyond what they say and focus on how they show up, how they influence and what impact they leave behind.

A powerful reminder that leadership presence is not a performance.

It is the ability to bring your best self into the moments that matter most.

Thank you, Shiffy Srivastava, for an insightful and highly experiential session.

Transforming Executive Communication at EY

 

The Narrative Edge: Transforming Executive Communication at EY

Data informs. Stories influence. Leaders drive decisions.

In an era where data is abundant but attention is scarce, the ability to translate complex metrics into a compelling vision is the ultimate leadership differentiator. Shiffy S recently spearheaded a high-impact storytelling masterclass for Senior Leaders and Directors at EY, focused on a singular, transformative shift: moving from merely presenting data to driving decisive action through narrative.

The Evolution of Executive Communication

The session at EY wasn't just about public speaking; it was about Narrative Architecture. Leaders explored how to dismantle dense information and rebuild it into persuasive journeys that resonate at the CXO level.

Key takeaways from the session included:

Strategic CXO Influence: Moving beyond "reporting numbers" to actively shaping organizational vision.

Narrative Frameworks: Utilizing structured storytelling to turn abstract business goals into actionable reality.

Dynamic Engagement: Mastering the art of commanding a room and facilitating real-time decision-making.

Information vs. Impact: Learning why "sticky" messages win in a world saturated with noise.

From Data-Heavy Delivery to Story-Led Leadership

The transition observed during the session was instantaneous. By adopting high-performance storytelling frameworks, these senior leaders moved away from technical delivery and toward story-led leadership—a style that doesn't just inform an audience but moves them to act.

"Your story is either creating influence… or it is getting ignored."

For leaders building high-performance teams or shaping customer experiences, the message is clear: the edge lies in the ability to truly connect, not just speak.

Bring the Framework to Your Leadership Journey

The same methodologies Shiffy S shared with EY’s top brass are captured in her latest book. Designed for professionals who want to move from being heard to being followed, this resource is the definitive guide to executive influence.
