So lets start with the word – What does it mean? Charisma is an individual’s ability to attract and influence other people.

Be attentive, People like being around charismatic people because they feel valued.  Charismatic people have trained themselves to be attentive to those they interact with.  One of the behaviors that is linked to attentiveness is eye contact. Radiate warmth, Charismatic people are often described as warm and approachable.  Research has shown that when people perceive you as warm they are more likely to trust you and embrace your ideas. Convey passion, Charismatic people are passionate.  Being around them motivates others to act.  This positive energy is one of the qualities that makes charisma so alluring.  Have A Cause, Charismatic people talk about ideas that are bigger than themselves.  Sociologist Max Weber, whose study of charisma sparked the scholarly study of the topic in the 20^th century, noted that one core component of charisma was having a clear vision of a desired future and boldly advancing it. Remember little details, try to make a conscious effort to remember the little details they share with you. Bringing these details up in later conversations will make the other person feel valued and heard and encourage them to be more open with you. Keeping these details in mind will help provide you with conversation starters with people in the future. Keep things positive, When conversing with others, keep things as positive as possible for the duration of your interaction.
