From Sales Manager to Executive - How to set yourself apart!

​Promotion season is here.

​Maybe you’re stepping into a new leadership role.
Maybe you just earned the promotion.
Or maybe you’re actively interviewing for what’s next.

​No matter where you are, one thing matters most: how you show up.

​In this panel, we’ll break down what separates leaders who are perceived as executives from those who remain seen as managers, often without realizing it.

​We’ll start with interviews—how executive thinking shows up (or doesn’t), the language leaders use, and the subtle signals that make it clear someone is ready for the next level.

​Then we’ll move into day one leadership—how to build trust, credibility, and a strong leadership brand as soon as you step into a new role, without trying to prove yourself or overcorrect.

​We’ll wrap with the Executive vs. Manager mindset: what executives spend their time on, how they communicate differently, and the small shifts that change how your team and leaders experience you.
