Thankfully, charisma isn’t necessarily something you’re born with. Like most skills, it is something you can develop through daily practice. We asked members of the Young Entrepreneur Council for their personal tips, so try them out and see how much you
can build your charisma.

1. Manage your nerves.
When charismatic people speak, you notice they don’t seem to be nervous. Managing
nerves isn’t easy, but there are some basic tips to make sure you come across with confidence and charisma. For instance, use props when you speak to take the pressure
off yourself from having to always come up with the right words. Also, repeat the mantra,
This opportunity is bigger than me.

2. Listen with intent.
When most people think of charismatic people, they think of their ability to talk or
interact with others. What impresses me is someone who is a listener. I think it’s hard
to be good at this, and with the fast-paced world we live in, good listeners are hard
to come by. So to me, a charismatic person is someone who listens with intent and
makes you feel as if your thoughts are valued.—Kelsey Meyer,

3. Be relatable.
Make your conversations relatable to those you’re speaking with. Use stories that position you as an average person in whom others can see themselves. Use mirroring techniques such as using the same words and terminology the other person uses, and try to find the common ground with everyone you talk to by asking the right kind of questions.
4. Talk about your passions.
The right topic can give power to your voice. When you think something is boring, your
energy level will be low. When you talk about a passion—the challenge that keeps
you up at night, the people you care about, how you want to impact the world for
the better—your energy will come through. Your passion will remove nerves or fears,
give your voice conviction and persuade others to support you.—Alan Carniol, Interview

5. Give more than you take.
Charismatic people enhance and enrich the lives of those around them. When you
genuinely offer to help someone else, they will be particularly fond of you. We are
drawn away from the self-serving to those who serve others first before themselves.
Give more than you take and you will be well on your way to becoming charismatic.—Eric Mathews,

6. Have a sense of humor.
Humor, humor, humor. If you have the confidence to try (and succeed) making the
other person laugh, you have them in your pocket. Funny and charismatic go hand
in-hand since the beginning of time.—Yoav Vilner, Ranky

7. Be adaptable to the situation.
Most people say confidence gives you charisma, but I say it is the ability to be adaptable
to any given situation or environment. How? Keep up with the news and industry trends,
and be willing to ask questions when you don’t understand something. More often than not, people will be happy to explain their expertise to you.—Bryanne Lawless,

8. Remember names.
Remembering a person’s name can get his or her attention in an instant. It makes
them feel important and helps you become more likeable. As Dale Carnegie famously
said, “A person’s name is the sweetest sound in the world to that person.” Whether in a business situation or personal situation, make an effort to remember names of people
you’ve met.—Diego Orjuela, Cables & Sensors

9. Have genuine interest.
A charismatic individual exudes personal magnetism, and I’ve found that charismatic
people are genuinely interested in others. The key is to actively show interest and
enthusiasm in the other person when you engage in a conversation. Listen carefully
to what they have to say before asking questions that invite more depth and information. Do this and you’ll give your “charisma factor” a huge boost.Ajit Nawalkha

10. Ask more questions.
People like to talk about themselves. Therefore, if you ask more and actively listen more
, you will be far more charismatic. I would recommend playing a game in your mind:
Try to see how little you can actually talk and practice asking questions to questions.
For example, “That’s a great question. Why are you interested in knowing that?” Also,
expand your vocabulary with more vibrant words.—Tommy Mello
