Welcome
Inspiring Executive Coaching and Mentoring for Leadership Gravitas
Dr Ian Scott, DCM. Author and Executive Coach Specialising in Leadership Presence and Gravitas
About
Unique and Inspiring Approach
I coach and train clients to help achieve authentic presence and build lasting gravitas, both personally and professionally. With a unique ability to connect across a wide spectrum of leaders, I have contributed to countless success stories of executives and companies throughout the world.
Founded in 2008 in London, UK and now in the USA, RU4 Real has had the privilege of providing guidance and expertise to organizations and individuals representing automotive, digital technology, engineering, financial services, media, mining, pharmaceutical and professional services industries.
I have a unique IP to help leaders be more authentic, engaging communicators and magnetic to those they wish to influence. Part of my technique involves understanding how to overcome personal and organizational barriers to performance, including managing anxiety and panic condition.
The Gravitas Experience
I was the first person to research gravitas at a doctoral level using a combined scientific action research approach with a whole body and mind experience to create a new model and teaching approach that really works. There is no quick trick to finding personal gravitas but the process of getting there is rewarding and motivating as you will discover the balancing power of gravitas and its equally powerful opposing force, levitas.
Active Personal and Group Coaching
Coaching for gravitas can be highly effective privately but many find that learning from others enhances the experience. I offer both on-line remote based coaching and small group in person coaching and training where practical.
Leadership Training and Facilitation
Training is available in the general field of leadership effectiveness for large groups and intact teams alongside the orchestration and facilitation of in-house company meetings and events. More detail is provided in the services section.
Gravitas Personal Coaching and Mentoring
Exploring Your Gravitas
The program begins with an assessment of your gravitas starting point including psychodynamic exercises, reflective practice and a detailed analysis of your MBTI profile.
Understanding Where to Focus
I co-develop your goals through an understanding of your purpose and passion and how your knowledge can drive a deep level of gravitas and how to reduce ego through the development of personal levity.
Situational Awareness
The ability to be agile is critical to your gravitas and special tools and skills will be taught and practiced so that your brain can be rewired to quickly assess situations and people.
Developing Your Inner Coach
Sustainable gravitas requires the ability to coach yourself after the program has ended. I can help you to be able to understand and use your inner coach to be flexible and recover your gravitas when it seems to abandon you.
Somatic Gravitas
Quite simply your body and mind are connected and both can teach the other.
Experimental Gravitas and the Gravitas Formula
The search for a parsimonious formula took years to research but I have it and can teach you to embrace it and develop it through coaching in practice using action based experimentation and reflection to build a lasting impact.
Executive Presence Training
Preparation
This is an in person training program rather than the 3 month customised coaching for gravitas which builds deep knowledge and practice. Preparation prior to the training allows you to have pre thought your strengths and where you feel your presence is either missing or simply needs some tweaking.
Understanding Presence Compared to Gravitas
Presence can be immediately felt by others and whilst it is important for gravitas too it something that can be developed more quickly. Video analysis and group feedback provide an immediate sense of your strengths and where there is need for improvement. executive presence and gravitas
Communicating
So much personal presence is centred on how we communicate and how others feel. Where gravitas has a quality of knowledge attached with presence there are techniques that help others notice you regardless of apparent status. executive presence and gravitas
Barriers to Presence
Personal and situational barriers, either apparent or real can present immediate obstacles that are often hard to recover from. I will work on the most common ones and develop coping approaches to manage ourselves to regain balance.
Being More Authentic
Our authenticity is felt by others but we have to be careful with it as it does not always fit the culture of our working environment and relationship with others. I will ensure that you understand what your authenticity means to others and how to build empathy quickly.
Lasting Presence
We want our presence ultimately to be more than apparent. To do so you will work on how to be more enduring and what it would take to get to ultimately access the more deeper and inner felt quality of gravitas.
