Establishing Your Charisma Presence
An integral piece of charisma is establishing a presence, so let's
examine 3 ways to establish your charisma presence, that will clearly
tell all around you "I'm a player and a force to be reckoned with!".
Your Mother Was Right:
"Stand up Straight!"; "Head up!"; "Shoulders back!"; "Chest out!";
"Don't slouch!"; are some other things you heard as a child. Probably
without knowing, she was enabling you to display confidence and
establish a charisma presence. Your overall posture will make you
feel and look confident, while keeping you at ease with your
surroundings. As you encounter new situations, pay very particular
attention to how you walk, sit, and stand. Even if you're not at
ease, follow the rules of posture your mother told you as you were
growing up. That posture that tells other people that you are at
ease, and they naturally will assume you are!
S-M-I-L-E
A natural friendly smile is one of your most powerful "weapons" in
your charisma arsenal and can work wonders if you use it at the right
strategic intervals. A friendly smile can be an ice breaker, or it
can easily remove resistance. And just generally, it surrounds you in
an aura of high self-esteem and confidence.
You Are in the Drivers Seat!
In every situation where you deal with anothers, you need to stay
focused on tact and diplomacy. Remember to keep your charisma
qualities high so that others will be drawn to you. As analyze
situations you'll also know exactly when to speak and what to say
when you speak, and how to present yourself in the most appealing way
throughout the interaction.
As you look at the world full of people, most lack a high level of
charisma presence. It is very easy to stand out and be head-and-
shoulders above the rest. When you have it, it shows. And even if you
don't have it, as you develop your own high level of presence, you
can fake it until you make it. But remember, the trick to faking it
is to fake it with sincerity. As your charisma presence develops, you
will find yourself no longer faking it, but truly exhibiting an aura
of charisma to others around you, where they are drawn to your
charismatic charm.
