“KEY TAKEAWAYS   Charisma has three essential components: presence, power, and warmth.   Being present—paying attention to what’s going on rather than being caught up in your thoughts—can yield immense rewards. When you exhibit presence, those around you feel listened to, respected, and valued.   Because your body language telegraphs your internal state to those around you, in order to be charismatic—to exhibit presence, power, and warmth—you must display charismatic body language.   Because your mind can’t tell the difference between imagination and reality, by creating a charismatic internal state your body language will authentically display charisma.   In terms of achieving charisma, your internal state is critical. Get the internal state right, and the right charismatic behaviors and body language will pour forth automatically.”
