What do US presidents, cult leaders, ex-genocidal dictators, and Elon Musk have in common?
Nearly every man deeply craves the validating feeling of walking into a room exuding power and commanding respect and admiration”.
Or to be able to confidently speak in public persuasively, capturing the attention of everyone.
To have women whispering and gossiping about you as your aura affects a room.
The self-development industry knows this very well…
Hundreds of books, courses, and live programs are sold every year on the evergreen promise of helping you to become “more charismatic”.
Do they work? It depends…
While I don’t deliberately disagree with the whole idea of working to develop charisma, I do think that most people approach this endeavor the wrong way.
For starters, the reality is that many of the so-called “hyper charismatic” individuals out there as global leaders and celebrities are not very charismatic or attention-grabbing per se…
What makes them perceived as such is their status and the unique role they play in a specific context (e.g: they’re famous, they’re the boss, or just very wealthy).
Another misconception people have about power & personal magnetism is that they boil down to dominating others.
In this skewed view of things, the most charismatic people are those who can forcefully impose their will and presence on less powerful individuals.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The most spellbinding and thrilling people I’ve ever met, or shared stages with, are not oppressive at all––their focus is on helping others to “open up”.
I talk about them and the most important lessons I’ve ever learned about unleashing true personal magnetism in my latest video.
