Simple but powerful body language tips that exude charisma
In business dealings, charisma counts. A lot. And charisma is as much about impressions and body language as it is about issues and substance.
I’ve seen many qualified people get passed over for promotion (or lose a sale or fail an interview) simply because they couldn’t project an engaging attitude.
Max Weber, the father of sociology, first coined the term ‘charisma’ to describe inspirational leaders. Originally from the Greek kharisma, meaning favour or divine gift, charisma has also been defined as “part confidence, part presence, and part sex appeal.”
But however we define it, we know it when we see it. We call someone charismatic when they somehow compel us to embrace their vision – whether it’s corporate, social or political.
