(1) SMILE.

(2) Be INTERESTED, OPEN and CURIOUS.

Here’s a classic tip from Dale Carnegie: “You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. Which is just another way of saying that the way to make a friend is to be one.”

Here are two quick ways to centre yourself and reconnect with the present moment again:

• Focus on your breathing.
• Focus on what’s right in front of you.

(3) Be FULLY PRESENT (Be ATTENTIVE / Pay ATTENTION).

(4) Be ASSERTIVE (when needed).

(5) Be CONFIDENT.

Facing your fear isn’t always easy though. Here are two tips to make it easier:

• Be present.
• Be curious.

(6) Be AMUSED.

(7) Be SOCIALLY FREE and AUTHENTIC.

Three tips that can help you increase your inner social freedom:

• Realize people don’t care too much about what you do.
• Increase your self confidence.
• Focus on what you can control.

Final thoughts

It seems to that a lot about being charismatic is about making the other person/people feel good. And you inspire that and transfer that into them by being more free and genuine socially, by being fully there, by being positive and open and confident etc. yourself. So being more charismatic is mostly about bringing out more of these or other positive qualities in yourself. They are already there to some extent. You just have to practise and have the courage to make them stronger and bring them out more consistently.
