What kind of Charisma Types are there we can use to influence others?
1. POWER
- You are Powerfull, if people will attribute you with:
- Intelligence
- Strong body language
- Authority
- Title
- Social status
- Good apperance
Lets talk about what makes a person a powerfull one ?
The perception of power: the belief that this person has the power to affect our world.
We evaluate someone’s power through four indicators:
body language, appearance, title, and the reactions of others.
Does it emanate confidence in the person’s power to influence others, or to affect the world around them? We are biologically programmed to care about status and to be impressed by it because this instinctive reaction favors our survival: high-status individuals have the power to help or hurt us. To survive, we need to know where in the pecking order we stand. As a consequence, we’re exquisitely fine-tuned to any clues that can help us determine other people’s status.

2. WARMTH
It can make people like you, trust you, and want to help you.
How?
3 Steps to help you to be a warm Person:
You can increase both warmth and confidence by practicing gratitude, goodwill, and compassion for others as well as for yourself.
- The first step is to get in touch with warmth directed toward life in general, and your life in particular. This falls under the general category of gratitude. Gratitude has a special advantage for those of us who sometimes find it uncomfortable to connect with others. It can give us charismatic warmth without having to connect with anyone.
- Then you’ll experiment with warmth toward others—these are the realms of goodwill, altruism, compassion, and empathy.
- Last, you’ll explore what seems to be, for most of us, the least comfortable kind of warmth: warmth for yourself. This is the emerging discipline of selfcompassion. Self-compassion is how much warmth we can have for ourselves, especially when we’re going through a difficult experience.
➡️
Any of these will bring you a measurable increase in charisma, so play around with all of them if you can, both those that feel natural and those that feel like a stretch.

3. POWER + WARMTH
- your internal state is critical. Get the internal state right, and the right charismatic behaviors and body language will pour forth automatically.
- Because your body language telegraphs your internal state to those around you, in order to be charismatic—to exhibit presence, power, and warmth—you must display charismatic body language.
- Being present—paying attention to what’s going on rather than being caught up in your thoughts—can yield immense rewards. When you exhibit presence, those around you feel listened to, respected, and valued.
(Cabane, 2012, p. 27, 92-94)
4. Authority, Visionary, Focus and Kindness
