Presence As A Shortcut To Charisma

In this episode, you will get a couple of simple tips on how you can increase charisma instantly in specific situations. If you want to learn how to do this, tune in now!

To be charismatic on the spot - even if you do not feel very charismatic in general - is possible when you apply a specific way of charisma called Focus Charisma. Focus charisma means that you are present in the very moment when you are speaking to a person. And that you put all your energy and focus on this one person.

Being present

One layer of Focus Charisma is being fully present. We perceive other people as charismatic when this person makes us feel really great. This creates a positive emotion as we feel heard and seen. Even though we do not even remember exactly what the other person said, we will remember how they made us feel. To create this positive emotion the charismatic person is fully focusing on us and is living in the presence.

However, most people’s thoughts are mentally wandering around either in their past or in the future. To connect in a charismatic way with others, we need to learn to fully be the present moment. In this episode, you learn to become present via three different exercises one of which you can use to re-focus in discussions with other people within seconds. 

Developing genuine interest

Genuine interest in the person or group you are speaking to is another layer of Focus Charisma.  It's all about how you connect with the other person. This is an energy exchange that is happening mostly on a subconscious level. When we are connecting with someone, our body language plays a crucial role. Our tone of voice and every single micro mimic will be perceived by the other person in 17 milliseconds. Authentic body language is therefore key to showing Focus Charisma and it only happens when what we feel and what we say is congruent.

In all these years, one thing has struck her time and again, especially from the perspective of her role as communications leader: Companies invest in strategies, infrastructure and also in the training of their employees. 

However, the sustainable benefit of the latter all too often comes to nothing because the individual is unable to implement what they have learned. Mostly for the simple reason that they do not sufficiently reflect on themselves and do not know how to position themselves with confidence. The foundation is missing, so to speak, the fertile soil on which the potential of leaders, employees and thus the company goals can grow and flourish.

Today, she combines some of the most effective self-development techniques with her own experience at all levels of hierarchy to give leaders tools to communicate with charisma, lead with authenticity and arrive in a zone of lasting high performance and happiness.
