UNDERSTANDING OF CHARISMATIC PERSONALITY

Charisma is one of those things that people assume you’re born with, but that’s not necessarily the case. Regardless of your personality type, it’s entirely possible to become more likable and develop your charisma.

The key is to focus on certain traits you can practice and apply to your own behavior that can possibly make you seem more magnetic, trustworthy, and influential.

Charismatic people are those rare gems who happen to combine many tweaky behaviors together that turned them into brainwashing machines.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a charismatic leader who used powerful oratory, an engaging personality, and unwavering commitment to positive change in the lives of millions of people.

Here are habits of highly confident and charismatic people..

They are crazy about something-  Bill Clinton, Obama, Michelle Obama, Usain Bolt, Cristiano Ronaldo or even that charming guy at your office, they all have one thing in common. They believe strongly in an idea and this shows in how they carry themselves. It also throws a loop around you; you get blown away by the force of their belief. 

They make you like yourself- My principal, the most charismatic guy I ever met, has this dazzling ability of making you feel like the only person in the world. History says the same about charismatic people. They all have a way to make others feel so good about themselves than they normally would. They make you like yourself more by being with them. 

They have sweet strong voice- I've yet to watch a remarkable speaker with a cracking voice. I've always noted that the most charming guys have the sweetest and clearest voices. They talk so that you wanna listen, their voice draws you in. 

They show you warmth- Charismatics have this habit of not criticizing people or downgrading others’ importance. When you talk to them, they show genuine compassion and make you feel at home. Because we're social beings, we pick up these signals subconsciously and we fall for them.

They brandish signals of power- Either you hear of their deeds or you see them in high places, or they do the seemingly impossible, or they show immense wealth and wisdom. Charismatics are known to spread out signals of their immense power everywhere they go and they manage to never say it out loud (aka brag) 

They listen- Oh yes. Charming people are the best at this. They don't press their phones or take a call while talking to you. There is this unease most people feel in their presence, because they can't handle the amount of attention given to them. 

They walk like the boss- Ever seen Obama walk?

Bill Gates?

Or Usain bolt?

There is this unusual amount of energy expended when they walk.

They walk like the whole world is their playground. 

They have the real smile- You know that time when the salesman smiled at you and your intuition shouted out, “Beware! Danger! Run for your life!” 

You never feel that way in the presence of charismatics, they smile sincerely at you and it’s really cute since it's so powerful. I hope you know there's something special in the smile of people like Richard Branson  

They have a handle over negativity- Even Hitler wasn't a negative man as I read about him, he was just a visionary. Charismatic people seem to have this golden touch with negativity. They may be going through the worst possible moment on earth, yet they'll still smile at you. These people are truly special. 

They make everyone know they ain't perfect- Every charming guy I've met has this ability to show in conversation that they ain't perfect. 

They tell you that they are only trying their best. They always have a flaw and they don't hide it. Steve Jobs had his flaws, Marilyn Monroe had hers, and so do Gandhi and Obama. They don't try to appear godlike.

Thank you …If you’ve ever met someone likable, yet you couldn’t explain specifically why you like them, they have charisma. You can learn to be charismatic too, and all it takes is some modifications to your behavior.

Charisma is about what you say and do as opposed to who you really are as a person. Your subconscious, social cues, physical expression and the way you treat others all play a part in developing your charisma.

Master the art of presence

“Presence” is the most important aspect of charisma, with confidence being a close second. Presence is all about being truly engaged with others.

 Essentially, you’re showing the other person that they have your complete attention.

 Without confidence, you can seem like someone who is shy or uninterested in others, but without presence, you can come across as someone who is only interested in showing off. As with most things, neither extreme is ideal.

When you think of charisma, you might think of trying to make yourself seem super awesome to others.

 But the paradoxical secret of charisma is that it’s not about trumpeting your good qualities, but making the other person feel good about himself.

Real charisma makes the other person feel important; when they finish an interaction with you, they feel better about themselves than they did before.

The truth is, we like ourselves and we like talking about ourselves. The people in your life that you find likable and charismatic, though, let you be yourself and let you talk about yourself. Be positive, shut down your ego, and give your full attention. It really is that simple.

Want to add word or two?

Develop a sense of confidence

Having confidence will give you a huge foothold when you’re becoming more charismatic, but it’s not easy to build. You don’t want to be arrogant, but you also don’t want to come across as timid or scared.

 It all comes down to how you feel in your own skin. Working out regularly, dressing in clothes that make you feel good, and talking about the things you understand well can help you build and maintain confidence..

Your comment ….?

Live with purpose

People with confidence and charisma also live with purpose.

 It’s noticeable when you don’t seem to have a mission or driving factor. You don’t need to wear your passion on your sleeve, but you need to be confident in the notion that you’re alive to do something.

Pick a cause, a goal, a vision and live it. People long to have a cause to rally around — something to believe in.

You need to believe in it so strongly for that it animates your every gesture. Be self-assured in every scenario. Show that you don’t share the doubts that plague most people. Act as if you know where you are going, even if you aren’t 100% sure.

You may not really know where you’re going all of the time, but you should look like you know. When a scene plays out, act like you know your lines.

We all have those moments where we do something and think to ourselves, “that was stupid.” Forget those moments.

When you have those moments and take even a fraction of a second to think like that, your behavior visibly changes. You falter and people can see it.

Confidence is about being okay with what you do and who you are, no matter what that means.

People like confident individuals, even if their other qualities are less attractive. If you can be confident, being charismatic is a hop, skip, and a jump away.
