Here are 3 effective steps you can take to develop a highly charismatic personality.
1. Perfect your speech
A fine ingredient in a charismatic person's character is that they are often great speakers. Their voices are calm, clear and loud. They have a good control of the language and they always know their audience. To improve your charisma, you must improve your speaking skills. You do not necessarily need to be articulate with a massive vocabulary, but you must consciously try to improve on your conversations. Always try to concentrate on delivering your message with the right words and gestures. Since all skills are learnable, if you do not have good speaking skills you can improve them by joining a supportive organization, such as Toastmasters.
2. Believe in your stuff
All charismatic people know what they are talking about. They have spent a significant amount of time on learning and practicing knowledge in their fields. As a result when they are conversing they project that strong sense of belief in their voice. Exercises such as reading publications in your field everyday will give you the assurance to develop your confidence. It will help you to transfer your knowledge with authority.
3. Care about others
Being charismatic is no way related to being selfish or arrogant. You must care about others. Always smile and be supportive to people around you. Focus on what is right rather than who is right. Go out of your way to help others. If you do so, according to the law of reciprocity, they will go out of their way to help you. Helping and caring for others will also grow yourself confidence and it will create an upward spiral for your success.
