There’s something about charismatic colleagues that always make you feel comfortable whenever you’re around them.
Being charismatic isn’t about the level of success you’ve achieved, how well you dress up or the positions you hold in your job, but it’s simply about naturally presenting yourself with good and valued manners.
Some people are naturally charismatic, while others may need a little effort to bring out their charismatic character from within themselves. However, it isn’t difficult to become a charismatic individual. To help you with that, here are some tips on how you can build up your charisma at work:
#1 When walking into a crowded room or simply going to the office, always maintain an assertive posture, be confident with the way you look and let your body language show it! Do not walk into a room looking like a deer caught in the headlights.
#2 Always maintain eye contact when you’re communicating with others to show that you’re honest and approachable.
#3 Listen with intent to make others know that their thoughts are valued.
#4 When speaking to others, position yourself as an average individual in spite of your success and fame. By doing so, you’re able to make relatable conversations with the person you’re speaking to.
#5 Do not put others down even when they’re not around. You wouldn’t want to be remembered as someone who gossips or gives out unnecessary remarks, right?
#6 Humor, humor, humor… A good sense of humor is the key to being charismatic. Laughter and jokes can make us as well as those around us happier and comfortable. Plus, it helps to buffer the stress away.
Be authentically you, but at the same time show some charisma!
