Listen Intently
When you’re talking to someone, everything else should be put on hold. Put your phone away and avoid looking at your computer screen if the person visits your office.
And if you’re expecting a call, say so before you start the conversation.

Use Your Hands
- If you usually use your hands when you talk, be careful to match your gestures with what you're saying. Your hands should add meaning to your words.
- If you’re not a person who talks with your hands, that’s okay, too. Drop them to the side.

Make Eye Contact
This is a good way to assert control.

Key Ideas
Be A Good listener
You can’t remember everything, but at least remember people’s names. Repeating their names during the conversation is a good memory reinforcement. Also, listen with interest, pay attentio...
Tell Great Stories
Keep yourself informed and speak with conviction. Use words like “I am sure” vs. tentative words like “I think, I hope and I feel.” Use humor, even if it is self-deprecating.
Don’t: Confuse humor with bad joke telling. And don’t overdo on the self-deprecation to the point you push yourself out of the conversation that it takes away from who you are.
Use Body Language
Be open, approachable, gracious and graceful. Walk up to someone, smile, make eye contact, shake hands. Introduce yourself by saying your name.
Don’t: Overdo it. When you smile, be authentic. If your smile is not in your eyes, people will know you're faking it.

Be a Professional Cheerleader
Charismatic people offer encouragement instead of skeptically listening to people’s goals and ideas. Find ways to encourage people while still holding them accountable:
Charismatic People Bring People Together
Charismatic people have lots of connections and share them regularly. Highly charismatic people are not only great at meeting new people, but also sharing their talent with their connections by introducing people who they know will get along well.
This quality is part of the reason charismatic people are such sought after connections; they spread their social wealth.
Likability is Key To Your Own Charisma
Likable leaders earn the trust of their team members and treat them well, and that makes the team’s performance better.
Teams with likable leaders tend to be more stable long-term because of lower turnover rates and are also better with changes since they are more likely to have employees committing to adopting to new ways.

“When I’m not feeling my best I ask myself, ‘What are you gonna do about it?’ I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.”
6 Life Lessons From Beyoncé
- Don’t let negativity bring you down, use it as fuel to promote the change that will push it away.
- Take care of your mind and body and don’t feel selfish for doing so.
- Beauty comes from within, don’t focus on the aesthetic.
- Be self-reliant and don’t let other people’s opinions take you off course. You are the only one responsible and capable of taking care of yourself as you need.
- Accept that failure is a possibility and let that push you harder to succeed.
- Don’t give in to the expectations of others, never settle and set your own timeframes to achieve satisfaction.
