My main topic this week has been about charisma and learning to be more charismatic by means of developing charisma as you would any other skill.
When I think about the people I admire in virtually every walk of life, they have charisma. Actors, sports stars, musicians, authors, therapists and even academics that I love seem to have charisma one way or another.
Charisma is not just important when looking to have friendships and relationships, emotional intelligence along with a
variety of very particular hard and soft skills that contribute to charisma have become a focus of late within professional discourse. They have been said to be vital if seeking progression in a variety of ways in life and linked with successful leaders in large corporations and also those leading their own small to medium sized enterprises, or those simply wishing to be a successful parent, friend or teacher.
So, have you ever thought of being charismatic and advancing charisma, and if so, how do we do that? Isn’t charisma something that people simply have or do not?
Charisma is often seen as an elusive, beautiful quality that lights up a party, an office, a silver screen or the
faces of a group of friends. It is often defined as, “compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.”
If you want to be a people’s person, if you want loyal customers or clients or you wish to lead a more successful life in general, being charismatic will help greatly. Even after charismatic people leave a room they still manage to leave their imprint … their magic
lingers, their energy is still felt, their charisma left a staying impression.
We all know a charismatic leader, colleague or friend. Someone who we just love to be around. Someone who makes us feel good, uplifted, inspired and engaged. Someone who makes any meeting or social gathering much more enjoyable.
Many are misled into thinking that charisma cannot be learned and practiced and that it is an inherent quality that some people are born with.
On the contrary, the good news is that charisma can be learned, developed and mastered as with many skills.
