3 Ways to Impress Everyone by Sebastian Bailey and Octavius Black, co-authors of Mind Gym What makes someone influential? Over the years, weâve asked this question to thousands of people. And the most common response we hear is charismaâbeing able to connect, charm, and win over others with oneâs personality. The thing is, charisma is not something youâre born with. Itâs something you learn. If you want to be the person everyone wants more of, welcome to Mind Gymâs version of charm school. The following lessons will help you impress anyone: Lesson 1: Hope Optimists outperform pessimists in political elections, sales, and social connections, because hope tends to attract other people and is, quite simply, attractive. Itâs not that they donât have dark days. Charismatic people just donât advertise them. Instead, they emulate hope by: Speaking optimistically about the future, Sharing believable steps to attain that future, and Expressing confidence in the ability of others to take those steps. Lesson 2: Passion When youâre passionate, people are drawn to you. Itâs hard to fake passion. Whether theyâre passionate about saving the planet, rising to the top of an organization, the latest fashion, freshwater fishing, or fine art, charismatic people talk about subjects they care about. Even if youâre not interested in the thing they are passionate about, youâre drawn to that person because they exude passion. Charismatic people express their passion by: Articulating a strong, informed point of view; Speaking with energy and vigor; and Demonstrating single-mindedness and focus in what they want to achieve. Lesson 3: Connection Itâs apparent that youâve made a strong connection with someone when you gesture or move, and they do, too. Charismatic people connect in this way deliberately. If you want to see charisma in action, pay attention to the most charismatic person in the room and youâll see that they are matching the behavior of those around them. Itâs a fantastic feeling when it happens naturally. Usually, however, it doesnât happen without a nudge. And you can give it a nudge by matching the other person in some of the following ways: Speak at the same volume, pace, tempo, and rhythm. Reflect or mirror similar body language, like crossing your legs. Share similar beliefs and values. Make statements or offer views that the other person is sure to agree with.
