Meet Angie O’Donnell and Sue Williamson of 3D Leadership Group in Wellesley
Boston Voyager, July 31, 2017
Today we’d like to introduce you to Angie O’Donnell and Sue Williamson.
Our story goes back to 1990 in Zurich, Switzerland, where we were working as summer interns as part of the Babson MBA program. That summer was full of exploration and our friendship was firmly grounded in a rich personal experience. Over the next 25 years, we grew our respective careers and our families while remaining in close contact no matter where we were living and working. We were always there for one another during life’s big milestones like Angie’s wedding, the births of our children, and the many anniversary and birthday dinners over the years. When Angie got the job offer to move to Hong Kong with Bank Boston, Sue was the first person she called to help her decide; and when Sue needed support with her career choices, Angie was always a phone call away.

What’s the secret formula for developing the elusive thing called “executive presence?”
The kind of presence we’re talking about goes beyond oozing charisma while delivering a great presentation. Executive presence is a way of being in all professional situations, with all constituencies, especially when the stakes are high.

The Tricky Waters at C-Level

It might have been funny — if the snafu hadn’t involved millions of dollars.
Recently, the CMO of a major pharmaceutical company got his CEO’s blessing to spend $5 million on a major brand campaign promoting a suite of products at a national health-care conference. So he was quite surprised to later learn that his boss had given a similar go-ahead to his sales counterpart, allotting another $5 million “to make a splash at a different meeting that usually attracted a lot of doctors,” says Angela O’Donnell, co-founder of 3D Leadership Group, a Wellesley, Mass., executive coaching firm.

Executive Presence: An Inside-Out Job
by Angie O’Donnell, Co-Founder, 3D Leadership Group
Central NY Business Journal, April 25, 2014
What’s the secret formula for developing the elusive thing called “executive presence”? This question is becoming more pervasive in leadership-development programs and among our coaching clients at all organizational levels.
According to The Conference Board’s 2014 survey, organizations hire external coaches most often to help leaders develop executive presence and influence skills — and we intuitively know that these two are related.
The kind of presence we’re talking about goes beyond oozing charisma while delivering a great presentation; of course these attributes are important, but we are seeing a much more holistic view of presence emerging. Executive presence is “a way of being” in all professional situations, with all constituencies, especially when emotions run high — which is usually when the stakes are high. READ MORE.
