Why do some people stand out and captivate with their personality while we completely forget about others? What makes people unique and likeable? I’m pretty sure we all had that moment when we talked to a person and we get fascinated by their personality while we totally get bored by others. I think that an important reason for that is someone’s charisma. But what exactly is that? The definition by the Collins Dictionary describes it pretty well: “Someone has charisma when they can attract, influence and inspire people by their personal qualities.” There are some famous people most of you probably know that had a great charisma which definitely helped them being successful in their career and life, like Gandhi, Marilyn Monroe or John F. Kennedy. There is also a great book someone told me about, written by Sally Hogshead, that is called “How the world sees you”. It tries to help and describe how to captivate people with our appearance and how to properly bring our personality to the public eye. She believes that everyone has unique strengths with which they can fascinate others with, when used properly. There is even a study by Amir Eretz where the result proofs that talking to charismatic people makes others happy. Therefore, I’d say that charisma is a very important leadership skill, but people don’t agree if you can learn that skill or if charisma is an innate characteristic.
Here are some characteristics that charismatic people have and that you might find in yourself and/or can improve:

Charisma can surely be learned just like success can be copied. But while you're trying to learn from other you'll also have to stick with your personality because over all that is the real you.

Good Blog! I have heard that charisma does not get worn even if you make efforts. It is said that it is born of those who have talent. But your blog may give charisma to those who are not!

I totally agree with you that charisma is an important trait for anyone to have. I believe that some people are naturally charismatic, but that does not mean it's not a trait you can learn and improve on. It might be hard to always be charismatic, but the points you listed above will certainly get me one step forward. Great blog!

I agree with you that people who interact with charismatic people are happy because I feel like charisma can wear off on someone and it's always really easy to be around someone charismatic. I like how you put a list of things to improve on, makes it easy to see and follow, if someone wants to be charismatic. Nice job V

To be honest I was wondering how could people be so attractive than others because i'm sure i was not that kind of person in the middle of crowd entertain others. To be more honest, I wanted to be "cool" like them when I was younger. i thought they are totally different kind but it is not something you cannot prove. I don't know if it relate to shyness but your steps are definitely helpful for me to be better version of myself. Great topic great blog!! I really liked reading.

During charisma training, analysts took cuts from dramas and had members watch them with no stable. At that point they requested that members sort out what was happening in the scenes. Regardless of whether you don't utilize the quiet drama procedure, you can in any case watch individuals' faces near become more receptive to nonverbal signals.

I really enjoyed your blog, Charisma is a very abstract characteristic and it is a very difficult job to bring it to words. However, I personally miss the inner qualities/skills that make you a charismatic person because all the consequences are written down, but not the whole mindset is.
