Develop Charisma
1. Possess the
mindset of self-worth by being self-valued. Tell yourself: "They
need me." "They need to know me - what I do - who I know - what
I know." They are lucky I am here."
2. Credibility
is earned by influencing others to perceive you as having
ethics, knowledge, and dynamic appeals. Send others impressive
messages about yourself.
3. Project a
stage presence of power, confidence, and competence. Read the
nonverbal cues you send when communicating with others. Ask this
check question: what am I really communicating when I stop
listening to my words?
4. Project a
stage presence of power, confidence, and competence. Use
assertive, focused, and precise verbal cues to project this
presence. Ask yourself this check question: what do my words
(language) communicate about me (my attitudes, my
open-mindedness, my confidence, my knowledge, etc.)?
5. Become
people sensitive AND people sensible. Know what motivates people
to listen and be more responsive.
6. Develop and
use effective listening strategies. Make it safe and comfortable
for people to share in your presence.
7. Refine the
art of conversation. Chisel the stone of conversation into a
statue of people feeling good about being in your presence by
stimulating them to talk about their favorite topic: themselves.
8. Become a
student of human nature and interpersonal communication
strategies. A successful person is one who keeps raising the bar
of knowledge when it comes to interacting with others.
9. Establish a
credible presence by being perceived as an expert in your field.
Write - speak publicly - participate in the business and
professional communities to create the image of expertise that
is visible and available to others.
10. Every day
make one less mistake than you did the day before. Seek out
those opportunities for self-growth and self-enhancement. Move
yourself to the next level by believing in yourself. This
enables others to believe in you, and, therefore, invites them
to be influenced by you.
