Establishing Your Charisma Presence
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.
