Imagine an organization where leaders show up with intention, move with clarity, and know how to leave a lasting impact.

Shemeka Brathwaite’s powerful Productive Presence framework helps organizations build cultures where leadership isn’t just about performance. It’s about purpose, presence, and long-term influence.

In a world where busyness is often mistaken for effectiveness, Shemeka equips leaders to slow down, get clear, and lead forward—with integrity, not overwhelm. Her transformational programs blend research-based strategy with the soul of storytelling, helping people reconnect with what matters most.

She invites participants to master the three moments that matter:

Before you enter the room: Ground decisions in purpose, clarify your goals, and align your presence with your principles.
When you're in the room: Communicate with clarity, build trust through collaboration, and activate your influence with executive presence.
After you leave the room: Cultivate a leadership legacy defined not just by outcomes, but by the positive impact you leave behind.

Whether you're developing rising talent, supporting seasoned leaders, or shifting workplace culture, Shemeka’s keynotes and training experiences are designed to inspire real change that lasts beyond the event. Because leadership isn’t a performance. It’s a practice. And every moment is an opportunity to show up on purpose.

Description: Executive presence isn’t about having a fancy title—it’s about having the clarity, confidence, and communication to lead with impact, even before you have formal authority. In this session, Shemeka deconstructs the outdated, corporate-coded image of leadership and reframes it through the lens of authenticity, equity, and emotional intelligence. Participants will learn how to lead in rooms where decisions are made, ideas are shaped, and power is negotiated—all without shrinking, code-switching, or playing small.

Participants Will:

Learn the 3 core elements of executive presence: Clarity, Connection, and Credibility
Practice situational leadership and self-advocacy in real-time scenarios
Explore how race, gender, and identity intersect with visibility and power

Audience: Aspiring executives, early-career managers, high-potential professionals, women stepping into visibility
