Charisma is a skill that can be developed from "summary" of The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane

Charisma is commonly thought of as an innate quality that some people possess and others do not. It is often seen as a mysterious and elusive trait that is either present or not. However, the reality is that charisma is not something you are born with – it is a skill that can be developed and honed over time. When we think of charismatic individuals, we often think of people who are naturally outgoing, charming, and confident. However, what we fail to recognize is that charisma is not about being extroverted or having a larger-than-life personality. Instead, charisma is about being able to connect with others on a deep and genuine level, regardless of your personality type. Developing charisma is not about changing who you are fundamentally; rather, it is about enhancing your existing qualities and learning new skills that will help you connect with others in a more meaningful way. By focusing on key elements such as presence, power, and warmth, you can begin to cultivate a more charismatic presence that will draw others to you. One of the key components of developing charisma is learning how to be fully present in the moment. This means being able to focus your attention completely on the person or people you are interacting with, without being distracted by your own thoughts or concerns. By mastering the art of presence, you can create a sense of connection and engagement that will make others feel valued and understood. In addition to presence, developing charisma also requires cultivating a sense of personal power. This does not mean being domineering or controlling, but rather having a strong sense of self-assurance and confidence that comes from knowing your own worth. When you exude a sense of personal power, others will be naturally drawn to you and want to follow your lead. Finally, warmth is another essential element of charisma that can be developed over time. Warmth is about showing genuine care and concern for others, and being able to empathize with their thoughts and feelings. By demonstrating warmth in your interactions, you can create a sense of trust and connection that will make others feel comfortable in your presence.
  1. Charisma is not a fixed trait that you either have or do not have – it is a skill that can be developed and refined with practice. By focusing on key elements such as presence, power, and warmth, you can begin to cultivate a more charismatic presence that will help you connect with others in a deeper and more meaningful way.
