Charisma is a Skill: Charisma isn't just natural – it’s made up of multiple learnable skills like presence, warmth, and power.
Balance Confidence and Warmth: Confidence without warmth can come off as arrogance. The key is to project both power and a genuine care for others.
Communication Fundamentals Matter: Mastering body language, tonality, and active listening are essential for conveying charisma and connecting with people.
Minimize Restlessness: Confidence is conveyed through stillness. Avoid fidgeting and overly nodding – stay poised and present.
Charisma in Leadership: Leaders who combine confidence with empathy, like Barack Obama, tend to have more influence.
