The Charisma Myth

Practice the power of your voice.

Practice the power of your voice.

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

If your goal is to show power, learn to speak in a more powerful way.

How to Apply This

  1. Speak slowly.
    Imagine the contrast between a teenager speaking and the emphatic tone of a judge delivering a verdict.

  2. Pause.
    Pause for 1-2 seconds between sentences, and sometimes even in the middle of them.

  3. Drop your intonation.
    Always drop your intonation at the end of the sentence. Imagine a judge saying, “This case is closed.”

  4. Check your breathing.
    Breath deeply into your belly. Inhale and exhale through your nose.
