Why Do I Keep Getting Overlooked Despite My Expertise?
You’ve put in the hours. You know your stuff. You’ve even coached your team to incredible outcomes. And yet, you still find yourself:
Being interrupted or talked over when your ideas are the smartest in the room
Working twice as hard just to earn half the recognition
Dreading that “big” meeting, heart racing, voice tight
Watching others—often less qualified—rise faster than you
Replaying every conversation in your head long after it’s over
Feeling drained from trying to “prove yourself” over and over again
You’ve tried speaking up more, asserting yourself, and following advice like “fake it till you make it.”
But if none of it has worked, that’s because no one has shown you how to access the deeper switch that real influence requires.
What If The Key Isn’t Doing More—But Activating Something You Already Have?
Most leadership advice skips over presence. It says people need to change how they talk or act—to be more confident, more visible, speak clearer, with more impact, which generally makes you feel like you are forcing it and being fake.
But there’s something far more powerful:
Your Presence Switch — a natural, authentic force that exists inside every leader.
When it’s off, you blend into the background. When it’s on, people listen. They respect your space. They remember your words.
And most people have never been taught how to activate it—until now.
From Overlooked to Unignorable:
If you’ve ever felt invisible in meetings or unsure how to claim space—you’re not alone.

Heidi Dugan
Has walked that path too. Before she was a board director, global CEO, and China’s first foreign TV host, she was terrified of being seen.
“I remember sweating through my first live TV appearance. The audience could feel when I was faking confidence—and I could too. But the moment I found my authentic presence, everything shifted.”
That discovery didn’t just change how Heidi showed up—it launched a 30-year international career.
She now chairs multiple boards, runs several businesses, speaks to millions, and still gets home by 6 PM with energy to spare.
And she’s coached thousands of people to do the same—by helping them turn on their own presence switch.
Real authority. Real results:
A VP finally promoted to lead a $200M division
A once-quiet director now keynoting global events
A team lead who stopped being interrupted—and started running the room

A Personal Note
From Heidi
I know exactly how it feels to question whether you belong in the room.
I remember the racing heart, the self-doubt, the frustration of having brilliant ideas but struggling to be heard. I've felt the exhaustion of working twice as hard just to be taken seriously.
But I also know the incredible freedom and power that comes when you discover your authentic presence—when you can walk into any room and naturally command attention and respect.
This transformation isn't just possible—it's inevitable when you follow this proven system. I've seen it happen for thousands of leaders, from new managers, CEO's to C-suite executives.
The only question is: how much longer will you wait to claim your rightful place as a leader who is seen, heard, and remembered?
Your presence switch is already within you. Let me show you how to activate it.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not naturally charismatic or extroverted. Will this work for me?
Absolutely! The Presence Switch system works with your natural style, not against it. Some of our most successful clients are naturally quiet and reflective. We'll help you leverage your unique strengths rather than trying to turn you into someone you're not.
How is this different from other leadership programs?
Most programs focus on generic advice or try to fit women into masculine leadership models. The Power of Presence is specifically designed for women leaders and focuses on activating your authentic presence rather than teaching you to "fake it" or be someone you're not.
How much time do I need to commit each week?
The program is designed for busy executives. You'll need about 15-20 minutes a day, including watching the modules and implementing the techniques in your regular meetings and interactions. The techniques are designed to integrate into your existing schedule.
How do I access the 24 practical classes and fortnightly sessions?
All 24 practical classes are available immediately in your member portal and you can work through them at your own pace. Each class includes a module workbook so you can implement the lessons right away. Fortnightly group Skills Mentoring sessions and fortnightly Live Case Study and Q&A sessions are held live and recordings are made available in your portal. You'll also get access to our Executive Presence Community of business leaders.
How quickly will I see results?
Most participants notice a difference in how they feel after implementing just one or two techniques, often after the first lesson. And then, each lesson you can take away the learning and implement. You will be amazed at how easily you start to create an impact on others, and your life starts to change. Others typically begin responding to you differently within 2-3 weeks of consistent practice.
When are the live sessions held?
For the Authority & Influence Mentorship, fortnightly Skills Mentoring is at 8:00am (SYD time) and Live Case Study and Q&A is at 9:00am. The meetings are held on Microsoft Teams and the link will be emailed to you.
Will there be a recording if I can't attend?
Yes, all meetings will be recorded but we encourage you to turn up in person to get the most benefit.
Is this only for corporate executives?
While many of our clients are corporate leaders, the Presence Switch system works for any woman in a leadership position—whether you're running your own business, leading a nonprofit, or managing teams in any industry.
What if I've tried other leadership programs without success?
The Power of Presence takes a fundamentally different approach by focusing on your authentic presence rather than teaching you generic techniques. Many of our most successful clients came to us after being disappointed by other programs.
How long do I have access to the materials?
You receive lifetime access to all 24 practical classes, module workbooks, and bonus materials, including any future updates. Fortnightly group Skills Mentoring and Live Case Study and Q&A sessions run for the duration of the program. Access to the Executive Presence Community of business leaders is also included. Learn at your own pace and revisit the content whenever you need a refresher.
I'm not sure if I'm "senior enough" for this program. Is it right for me?
If you're in or aspiring to a leadership position where your presence impacts your effectiveness, this program is for you. We've helped women at various career stages, from new managers to C-suite executives.
What if it doesn't work for me?
That's why we offer the 30-Day Presence Promise. If you implement the techniques and don't see a noticeable difference, we'll gladly refund your investment.
