For this episode I’m drawing from not only my own hard-earned knowledge base but also two recent guest episodes that go deeper into these topics: episode 222 with José Ucar, called Build Your Global Influence is fabulous and make sure you listen to last week’s episode 228 with songwriter Drew Lawrence called You Can Create Charisma. To max out this charisma lesson here are 3 practices for you: 1. Focus on warmth and personal connection. Remember that the next time you want to show others charisma. For now, don’t worry about presence or credibility, that’s what most of us tend to over index on. Focus on showing warmth. 2. Share your bloopers. In your stories and even work presentation, share specific aspects of yourself and your experiences, NOT trying to be perfect. Of course at work your experience needs to relate to your topic. But say you’re talking about trustworthy AI, share a funny story where you got a crazy response from some generative AI platform. 3. Charisma can be rehearsed a la Robin Williams. Start observing what are the specific characteristics you see that make a person come across as charismatic. Did you like this quick lesson on Charisma?
