Listen "S3:E5 – The Optics of Leadership"
Episode Synopsis
Step into the next level of leadership with Dominic George on the Vision Leadership for LIFE podcast. In this episode, Dominic unpacks a reality many Black men overlook on their journey from mid-level management to senior leadership, the optics of leadership. It’s not just about what you know, it’s about what people see, feel, and experience when you show up.Discover why image, preparation, and presence are not surface-level adjustments but powerful tools that shape perception and open doors. Dominic dives deep into how your wardrobe communicates readiness, how preparation transforms you from participant to driver, and how presence dismantles stereotypes and commands respect without aggression.Through real stories, practical strategies, and a challenge for self-reflection, this episode is a blueprint for aligning your external signals with your internal brilliance. If your optics don’t match your excellence, opportunities can be delayed or denied. But when you elevate how you show up, without losing your authenticity, you amplify your leadership and prove you’re ready for the next level.Join the Vision Leadership for LIFE community and learn how to take inventory of your optics. Ask yourself: Do your external signals reflect your readiness for senior leadership, or are you unintentionally sabotaging your growth?This is your call to step forward with intentionality, to refine your image, strengthen your preparation, and embody a presence that reflects the leader you already are.Music: That DayMusician: Jeff KaaleElevate your journey with Vision Leadership for LIFE.#LeadershipDevelopment #CareerCoach #BlackMen #Leaders
