Want to Go From Wallflower to People Magnet?
You can! Turns out – that ‘special something’ that makes you likeable can be learned. Here’s how, according to the book Executive Charisma: Six Steps to Mastering the Art of Leadership by Debra Benton.  
  • Perfect your posture. Stand up straight and take long, deep breaths. This isn’t just about looking better. Good posture helps you feel energized, alert and in control.  [Erik suggests dancing and encouraging the people for whom you care to dance too.]
  • Slow down. If you move and speak too quickly, you’ll come across as nervous and that gives off the vibe that you AREN’T in control.
  • Shoot straight. No one can like you unless they can trust you. So tell the truth and never try to dodge a mistake.  
  • Be a good storyteller. People find you smarter and more interesting if you use anecdotes to make your points. To be more comfortable as a storyteller, ham it up at bedtime when you read to your kids, or practice with somebody else’s kids.
  • Don’t argue. If you disagree with someone, don’t get defensive. Instead, ask a question like, “What are the facts behind your opinion?” Then once you hear them, respond accordingly. Staying calm helps you think more clearly and makes other people take you more serious
