And, I came up with the same formula as Olivia is suggesting.

Yes, it works. Let go of having to overanalyze and be right all the time, learn to read people (HINT: listening and observing and asking questions go a long way), and be willing to adapt a fluid communication skill set (HINT: listening, asking questions once again).

Charisma is really just an invitation for others to receive more.

At the time I had a tribe of fellow business women with whom to bounce ideas and talk shop. It really helps to be around people moving forward at the same speed you are. (Doesn't that seem like the solution to all of life, really?)

This response appears to have taken on an entrepreneurial flavor, but it can work in any position or situation.(less)
