Executive Authority Lunch

In our culture, modesty is a virtue. But staying quiet is costly. This lunch shows you how to turn your track record into visible authority – so decision-makers choose you before the first meeting.

You’ll leave with a 1-sentence position, 3 proof points, and a 30-day visibility plan.

The Real Cost of Staying Quiet

In complex B2B, people don’t choose the best. They choose certainty.

That certainty is formed long before the first meeting.

Buyers, partners, and talent quietly vet you online. And if your external presence doesn’t match your internal proof, the disadvantage is real:

Longer sales cycles, missed opportunities – and quiet rejection before the first call.

From Proof to Presence

To become the certain choice, your outside signal has to catch up to your work.

01 – Proof: The track record and expertise you already have.
02 – Presence: The authority and cues the market picks up.

You already have the Proof. This lunch helps your Presence catch up to the same standard.

50+ Leaders Supported

Unlocking the Voice
Marieke Smidt, CEO

Marieke saw her day-to-day work as "boring." We proved it was significant. By turning her experiences into authentic stories, we built a level of trust with partners and talent that corporate benchmarks can never reach.

Scaling the Presence
Jonas Berggren, CCO

For a busy executive, the biggest hurdle is being present. We solved the "no time" problem by keeping Jonas active in the market every single day. By sharing his conviction rather than just information, we created a presence that introduces him to high-tier clients before he even enters the room.

Authority That Scales
Per Hedelin, Founder

Per is the proof that people buy from people, not logos. We used his personal authority to ground the brand in trust, which then acted as the catalyst for his paid growth. By leading with a human face, we didn’t just get attention – we converted it into business growth.

    Questions & Next Steps

    We pressure-test what you’ve defined and translate it into an immediate plan.

FAQ

  • No. We’re not teaching internet fame. We’re helping you make your value visible to the people already evaluating you – buyers, partners, board members, and top talent.

    In trust-led B2B, visibility isn’t vanity – it’s how certainty gets formed.

  • No. We draw a clear line between personal and private – you share lessons and proof, not your family or your life. We keep the group small and operate with strict discretion.

  • That’s exactly why we keep this practical. We design a simple system you can sustain with minimal effort – so your presence compounds without becoming a second job.

  • We agree with the concern. We teach “proof-led” communication: specific, factual, and useful – more like an executive memo than a personal diary. Elisa’s visual guidance is about quiet professionalism, not flash.

  • Yes, if they’re a key leader (CRO/COO/CTO/Head of Sales). Mention it in your application.
