Assignment 1: Your Leadership Values, Executive Presence, and Winning
Due Week 3, Sunday (Weight 10%)
JWMI is the place where leaders are made. You are here to transform your life, lead teams to success, and grow
your organization. As a leader, speaking candidly about your leadership values and communication strengths,
while being present and authentic will help you to build connections and to establish relationships of trust.
For this assignment, you will apply the key concepts from Weeks 1- 3 to deliver a video message on your
leadership values, executive presence, or what winning means to you. The video message will provide an
opportunity for you to practice your executive presence and interpersonal communication skills.
While you record your video, you will also be delivering your message to an audience. You will find there is a
difference simply recording yourself and speaking to another person. As a leader, you will speak to many people
every day.
No PowerPoint or other props are needed. Your communication should be clear with main points that are simple
and easy to recall. Embrace a tone that is professional, reflecting your leadership values and passionate
purpose.
Instructions:
Create a short video, using Zoom, addressing one of the three prompts below. Your video should last no longer than 3 minutes. Use your interpersonal communication skills and speak with executive presence. See the Best Practices below to guide you in achieving this.
Choose one of the topics below:
1. Identify 1-3 leadership values that are most important to you. Explain the reasons for their importance,
using the below questions as a guide:
a. Why are these values important to you?

means for you.
a. What does winning look like for you?
b. Why is it important to you?
c. How do your leadership values support winning for you?
Deliver and record your presentation to an audience consisting of at least one person over the age of 18. As a
reminder, using Zoom, your audience member can join you online and watch you. If you are unable to find an
audience member, you may present to your professor. Submit the .mp4 video file as your assignment.
Executive Presence and Strategic Communication Best Practices:
Remember to focus on utilizing and exhibiting the following:
? Present directly to the camera
? State your intent and purpose at the onset
? Speak confidently, expressively, with passionate purpose and energy
? Be authentic and fully present in an engaging manner
? Build a connection with your audience
? Your communication must be organized, flow logically, and use beginnings and endings
? Introduce yourself at the beginning and thank your audience for listening at the end
? Keep your video under the 3-minute time limit
Aside from having strong content, your appearance must demonstrate professionalism in the following ways:
? Exude your Executive Presence by looking professional (business casual or business attire)
? Make sure your background is free from clutter; you do not want to distract your audience
? Make sure your surroundings are quiet (e.g., no children, animals, cars, music, or other extraneous
noise in the background)
Suggestions:
Practice in front of a trusted colleague, friend, or family member, asking for feedback on your vocal
and physical presence, and the effect your message had on them
To get the best results with Zoom, please work on a computer rather than a Chromebook, mobile
device, or iPad
