Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - August 2, 2022

 Charisma is a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. - Marianne Williamson

 

People who love life have charisma because they fill the room with positive energy. - John C. Maxwell

 

Think of a time when the reader was talking with someone and they said, “Wow, that person has charisma.”  What made the reader think the person had charisma?  What qualities did they show that were charismatic? 

 

Now, what if the reader could develop their skills to bring out charisma in someone else?  In Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know, Adam Grant defined a term called “inverse charisma”, which is bringing out the charisma of others through the conversation one has with others.  Questions one asks leads the other individual to talk more about themselves and bring out the best in that person through their presence and attitude.  The questioner is someone who shows they have a true curiosity to learn, open-mind to listen to what is said and withhold judgement as the individual speaks.

 

Would the reader like to develop their inverse charisma?  Next week, learn more about it and how to develop it.  

 

ACTION: Create a list of characteristics for an individual with charisma.
