Put executive presence coaching into practice.
Use your last meeting to choose one behavior to practice. GameTape reviews the meetings you record on your Mac and highlights moments to revisit. $95 a month; human coaching is separate.
You choose which meetings to record. Audio is transcribed by AssemblyAI; screenshot fallbacks are described by Google Gemini. Review capture and privacy controls.
Behavior you can review.
Start with how you speak, listen and respond under pressure.
Sylvia Ann Hewlett writes about executive presence in Harvard Business Review. She names three parts: gravitas, strong communication and the right appearance.
Jess Todtfeld coaches presence in New York. He puts the same idea in working terms.
Executive presence is a set of observable, trainable behaviors: how you open, how you pause, where your eyes go, how you hold pressure.
Review a meeting you chose to record. Look for the behavior you want to change.
GameTape records the meetings you choose. Your morning debrief highlights moments worth a second look.

Start with one room.
Presence changes with the room, so the behavior worth practicing changes too.
In a board update, you may need to explain a decision under pressure. In a 1:1, you may need to give someone space.
Choose the meeting type you want to improve this quarter.
The meeting review hub covers the wider loop, from the record to the follow-up.
What the review says.
See the measurement, then choose what to try in the next conversation.
Series A partner call · 10:30am. You asked 2 questions in this partner meeting against your usual 6.
Weekly team sync · 2:00pm. You held 64% of the airtime in this team meeting against your usual 41%.
1:1 with Sam · 4:00pm
Illustrative review, not a customer result. Comparisons need at least five qualifying meetings of the same type; they may not appear in your first week.
A row without a finding can mean GameTape found no unusual pattern or lacked reliable data. It does not establish that the meeting went well.
Turn the partner-call finding into practice. Two questions instead of six is a reason to revisit the exchange. Were you answering the investor's concern, or continuing your pitch?
Try this next time: ask “Which part would you like me to clarify?” before adding more detail. Then ask a colleague whether your answer addressed the concern. Bring that exchange to your coach to work on what made it difficult.
One behavior at a time.
Change one thing, then check the next meeting of that type.
Record the room. You choose which meetings GameTape records, and you can pause it from the menubar.
Read the finding. One meeting and one measurement, set against your own record for that meeting type.
Change one thing. Ask a clarifying question or name who will take the next step.
Check it next week. Review the next recorded meeting of that type when enough reliable data is available.
Marshall Goldsmith and Howard Morgan measured 86,000 survey responses. They came from 11,480 managers at eight companies. The leaders who talked about their goals with colleagues and then followed up improved. The leaders who skipped that step showed gains close to chance.

Where a presence coach still wins.
Choose live coaching for voice, body language, rehearsal and feedback on how you come across.
A presence coach can set up rehearsal, review a filmed baseline and help you work through a difficult exchange. Ask whether their offer includes those things. The $1,000 to $15,000 range above belongs to Success in Media; it is not a rate for every coach.
Todtfeld's own page puts lasting change at one to three sessions plus practice between them. That practice is yours to run.
Bring a finding from your GameTape review to your next coaching session. Discuss what happened and choose a response to practice.
You control your tape.
You choose what goes on the tape, and you can stop it from the menubar.
You can pause observation from the Mac menu bar and choose which meetings to record. Text activity summaries reach GameTape for review. Screenshot fallbacks go to Google Gemini for description, never to GameTape servers. Selected meeting audio passes through GameTape to AssemblyAI for transcription; GameTape does not retain the audio after transcription. Written summaries and transcripts remain in your account. Read the data and deletion policy.
GameTape counts your airtime, your questions and your longest unbroken stretch. It flags a decision that left the room with no owner. It cannot tell you how the room felt about you. Ask the people who were there.
Straight answers.
Executive presence coaching is one-to-one work on how you come across as a leader. Coaches work on your voice, your body language and how you hold pressure. Ask what the sessions cover and who they suit.
Most providers quote for the work. Success in Media publishes $1,000 to $15,000, by scope and format. KNP Communications, Maxwell Leadership, Eve Coaching and Amy Eliza Wong publish none. Prices checked 8 September 2026. Ask for the session count and the terms in writing.
It depends on the behavior and how often you practice. Success in Media puts lasting change at one to three sessions plus practice between them. Pick one behavior. Try a change and ask the room whether it helped.
Yes, up to a point. You can review your own meetings and pick one thing to change. A coach adds judgment, live feedback and rehearsal. GameTape supplies recorded moments to review. Comparisons need at least five qualifying meetings of the same type. You can use the review alongside a human coach.
No. GameTape reports counts from a meeting you recorded: your airtime and your questions. It flags a decision that ended with no owner. Comparisons with your own past meetings need at least five qualifying meetings of the same type. They may not appear in your first week. There is no presence score and no industry average.
