Insights into Charisma by Olivia Fox Cabane at Stanford University.
A brilliant talk that changed my perception of Charisma as something some people have naturally to something that can be learned and built upon.
Her techniques such as focusing
- Presence
- The core of charisma
- Charismatic people give you the feeling they are completely there with you in the moment
- Techniques, focus on the sensation on your toes then at the person, focus on the colours in the persons eye
- Charisma is not just how you make people feel about you but also about themselves
- Power
- Our perception of your ability to influence the world around you
- Mostly look at peoples body language
- Technique, standing with confidence to get the cycle going
- Warmth
- How much someone gives us the impression that they like us
- We perceive warmth almost entirely by body language and behaviour
- You cannot fake it
- Technique, pick three things about the person that you can approve of
- Technique, think about their past
- Technique, imagine their present, what happened to them today
