[Charles Ray]

Contrary to common belief, charisma is not something you have to be born with. While some people are naturally charismatic, the ability to develop and maintain a charismatic persona in your business and personal life is a skill that can be learned. In her book, The Charisma Myth, author and consultant Olivia Fox Cobane outlines the different types of charisma and exercises that anyone can use to develop them, turn them on and off at will, and use them effectively. In addition, she points out the negative side of charisma, especially when it leads to those we affect to share more of themselves with us than we’re comfortable handling.

Today I learned that charisma is not always something that one is born with. Moreover, it is a character trait that you can teach yourself, provided that you have all of the pertinent information to do so. This quick guide gives a run-down on how to achieve the proper level of charisma without coming across as a narcissist.
