What does it mean to have an executive presence?

In his article for Forbes magazine, “Executive Presence: What is it, why you need it and how to get it” Gerry Valentine defines its meaning:
“In its simplest terms, executive presence is about your ability to inspire confidence”
Can you do that? The good news is that having an executive presence is not only inborn, but also a skill that can be developed and improved.

One of the 7 key steps Valentine cites is the ability to operate effectively under stress.
How did you operate effectively and deal with stress at work?
