Charisma is a learnable skill. It is the type of skill that, once it is learned, it is considered a personality trait. Sometimes, this skill helps define the person who has it and might be thought of as a trait of that person.
A charismatic personality can persuade others because they come across as trustworthy, friendly, and fully present. Charismatic people demonstrate warmth and competence by playing to their strengths in any social situation.
The truth is that charisma is a learned behavior, a skill to be developed in the same way that we learn to walk or practice vocabulary when studying a new language.
A variety of factors can make a person charismatic. They include but are not limited to, confidence, exuberance, optimism, expressive body language, and a passionate voice. People with charisma are often enthusiastic and speak with assertiveness.
This is a skill that needs to be in the right balance. Highly charismatic people have the perfect balance of two traits: warmth and competence. Charismatic individuals can project both a sense of genuine warmth, trustworthiness, and friendliness, as well as a sense of confidence and competence in their abilities.
Three Rules of Charisma
Emanate energy, conviction, and assurance. Energize everyone around you with your enthusiasm, passion, and expectations.
Sincerity and genuine interest can give eye contact posture, facial expression, and listening skills the impact that will enable you to communicate effectively without speaking. Communicating without speaking requires a form of charisma. Likewise, a charismatic person attracts influences, and inspires people through personal qualities.
