Anyone can learn to be charismatic with a bit of help and guidance. What I do in my workshops is not try to change anyone; instead I try to help people reveal the confident, interesting, and expressive sides to their personality while helping them understand how to do that in a balanced way.

Some Do’s and Don’ts:

Do make a strong introduction.
– A warm friendly confident smile and eye contact in the first moments of meeting make all the difference.

Do take a genuine interest in other people.
– We all want to be validated and liked. Giving that to others is a sure way to get it in return.

Do express some personality.
– Be an individual with positive confident views.

Don’t talk facts.
– They can read that in the brochure. What is your experience with [person, place, thing, etc.]

Don’t try to make them like you.
– Learn what it is about them that you like and that interest will be returned.

Don’t ask too many questions. Don’t do all the talking.
– Balance asking questions with making statements about your experiences and relating to them.
