Before an important event, warm up to maximize your charisma.

from The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism by Olivia Fox Cabane

Our charisma during an important event strictly depends on our experiences before the event. It’s important to reduce all experiences that may lower our charisma, and instead, aim for experiences that will boost our desired feelings.

How to Apply This

  1. Don’t plan anything that may reduce your charisma for a few hours before the event.
    If you have potentially uncomfortable meetings before an important event, it may be better to cancel them in order to save your good mood and energy.

  2. Avoid difficult encounters.
    Aim for confidence and warmth boosting experiences instead.

  3. Create your own charisma boosting playlist.
    Listen to different songs and determine how they make you feel. Make a playlist for the state you desire, for example, warmth, confidence, energy, empathy, and calm.
