I'm Dr. Liz Bywater, Strategic Advisor to the C-Suite and Team Performance Accelerator. I'm also the author of “Slow Down to Speed Up: Lead, Succeed and Thrive in a 24/7 World”.

I'm here to talk to you today about how to make a brilliant first impression in your new CEO role. I've had such a good time working with a variety of new CEOs in a whole array of industries, from Pharmaceutical to Aviation, Genetics, you name it. When you first come into a role, and if you're a new CEO, you know this well, there's so much to be done, things to think through, relationships to establish, business decisions to be made, maybe a personal transition, maybe you've moved your family from one location to the next. A whole assortment of things that can keep you incredibly busy, 24/7, if you let them. I'd like to help you focus on what are the things that will help you make that quick, brilliant, lasting first impression. The truth is, that will be very important for the way you are seen, and the credibility you establish for yourself, the brand you create, and your ability to influence quickly and with impact.
