The four charisma sub-skills
- Warmth — genuine smile, open body language
- Presence — slow speech, eye contact, no fidget
- Wit — one clean joke per conversation is enough
- Curiosity — ask a second follow-up question every time
How to practice
Two social reps a day: one small (barista, coworker), one bigger (a stranger). Track the count for 90 days.
FAQ
