Maximize Your Influence

Intuition is a big part of your future success.  Intuition helps you read and understand people.  It comes in an instant and we have to be ready to act simultaneously.  Some call it a hunch, gut reaction or a feeling.  Intuition is real and can be harnessed to increase your ability to influence and transmit charisma.  Leaders who are able to distinguish between random thoughts and intuition are more successful in life and in business.  Face it, just take a look at CEO’s of large corporations.  They have access to all the logical research they need to make a good, educated decision.  The successful ones will admit that ultimately they have to follow their heart and use personal intuition.  Studies show that the majority of people use intuition, but had a difficult time verbalizing to others why or how it worked. 

As humans, (when we listen) we have the ability to read people from facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice or even a smell.  This comes from our early programming as humans to be able to meet a person and instantly decide if they are a friend or foe.  Those that have the ability to follow their intuition correctly would be able to sense danger or make a new friend.  We know when we have met someone for the first time that we have categorized them in the first 30 seconds.  We have decided if we like or dislike the person and this comes from our intuition.

Intuition expands our ability to tap into our previous experience, our knowledge and our stored memories.  We might not remember what memories or experience we are drawing on, but it was something we already have learned and it is expressed as a gut feeling.  The main obstacle that impedes us from following our intuition is convincing ourselves that it works and should be taken seriously.  What are you listening for?  How does your intuition talk to you?  It can be called impulse, urge or even that inner voice.  Start listening and you will save yourself a lot of time, energy and money.

Are you magnetic? Are people drawn to you? People who know where they are going are able captivate, are passionate and are charismatic. You can tell when you meet them and when they enter a room. People are drawn to them because deep down people want to be passionate about something and when they see that passion in your eyes, you become more charismatic.  They sense that you can help them and improve their lives.  This does not guarantee everyone will like you, but they will respect you for your conviction and your passion. 

Passion is very contagious.  When you transfer this passion, the people around you start to radiate that passion.  They perform better, if it is at work, it is no longer work.  They become more proactive, more willing to work as a team and become more optimistic.  When you have tapped into this passion you become more determined and it increases your persistence.  It starts to become a burning desire and consumes you and it radiates to others. 

 The Bottomless Bowl Study

A word of caution, just because you are passionate does not mean you can forego learning the skills you need to be successful.  It is a critical piece of the charisma pie, but you still need more pieces of the pie to radiate powerful long-term charisma. 

How do you transfer your energy and enthusiasm?

Do you have that chemistry?  Do you feel charismatic?  Do you radiate optimism?  It is no secret that the majority of the wealthy and successful business executives attribute their success to their optimism and attitude more than any other factor.  How can you inspire, how can you transfer charisma if you don’t have the right attitude or optimistic outlook.  Your attitude about the rain on your Hawaiian vacation can ruin your vacation or make it more fun and more memorable. 

Groups are often smarter without opinion leaders

 An optimist tells you that your problems are only temporary and pessimism tells you they are permanent and there is no way out.  As an optimist, you will attract people to your cause and you will radiate charisma.  Studies have shown that optimists do better in school, perform better in their careers and live longer than pessimists.  Pessimists tend to battle depression and give up more easily.

Optimism is more than PMA (positive mental attitude).  It is not constantly saying positive things to others and hoping they will come true.  Rather, true optimism is a frame of mind that governs how you look at the world.  Optimism means having expectations that things will eventually turn out OK.   Being optimistic means that you really believe that you will eventually accomplish everything you set out to do.  You will be able to help others achieve their goals.  Optimism is when you can transfer your hope and courage to others and will be more inclined to be led by you.  How do you gain that chemistry of charisma?

Can your prospect sense your fear?  Are you sure?  Confidence is a trait that increases charisma, influence and attracts people to you.  People love to follow and be influenced by others, when there is confidence in you and in your abilities.  Most people you meet suffer in the self-confidence arena, but your high confidence tends to make up for it.  Confidence breeds trust.  Demonstrating confidence in your field, in your industry and in your life, increases confidence in you. 

The people we admire and look up to the most are usually the type of people who know what they want and have the confidence to get it.  You must learn to communicate with great confidence and authority.  The perception of confidence is critical to maintain charisma.  The higher your confidence, the more charisma you radiate.   People read your confidence via your tone of voice, body language and other subconscious triggers. 

Those Wine Snobs….

True confidence is a state of mind.  At times in your life and in your career, your personal confidence gets smashed and it needs to be rebuilt.  Charismatic people can maintain confidence in all situations even if there have been defeats, setbacks or unpredicted outcomes.  We all have a tendency to feel insufficient or inferior at times.  When you lose faith in yourself or have had failures in your life, you lose confidence through fear.  Lack of confidence can be summed up in one word: fear.

 Fear can be defined as a magnified doubt.  All worries, questions, concerns, insecurities—can ultimately be traced back to fear in one form or another.   How do you exude charismatic confidence?
