1. clothes make the man: finding the right outfit
As the saying goes? First impressions count. And an impressive appearance really does start with your appearance: As a general rule, you should always dress a touch too smartly. A well-fitting, perfectly pressed blouse alone radiates confidence. The most important thing, however, is to feel comfortable in your clothes, as this gives us more self-confidence, makes us look authentic and thus helps us to project a positive image.
2 Gestures and facial expressions are crucial for a positive charisma
Our posture is also important for our first impression. It reveals a lot about our character and our self-esteem. A straight, upright posture automatically makes everyone appear more self-confident. This can help us enormously in a job interview, salary negotiation or even on a date. And if you gesticulate a little with your arms when talking, you'll immediately appear more lively and relaxed. Important: Smile a lot - this radiates joie de vivre and shows the outside world: I enjoy what I do.
3. score points with your voice: convincing in conversations
Our voice also contributes to our public image. Studies have shown that deeper voices come across as more competent than high, squeaky ones. Those who speak with a firm voice lend their statements more credibility. Pay attention to this. And: lower your voice at the end of a sentence. Otherwise the statement sounds like an uncertain question. Train your voice by reading a book aloud, for example. Pay attention to the tone and expression of your voice.
4 Remembering others - this is how it works
All people with a positive charisma have one thing in common: they are remembered. For example, their humor, their open manner or a certain opinion. You have already experienced something extraordinary. Tell us about it. Are you a good dancer? Ask your colleagues to salsa at the next party. Everyone has something unique about them.
5. there's an argument? Always stay calm
Just don't get upset! Spend your energy on more important things rather than getting annoyed with your rude boss, the person in front of you at the checkout or the traffic jam at the end of the day. Arguing with a colleague? Nothing looks more self-confident than dealing with criticism and conflict confidently. So, never argue out loud in front of others, but resolve the problem in private. Remain objective and calm and don't raise your voice. If you are too upset, it is better to withdraw, calm down and only then continue the conversation.
6 Believe in yourself: I can achieve anything I want
Pessimism kills any charisma. Better to think positively and act confidently. This makes a powerful impression on others. Only those who believe in themselves come across as confident and self-assured. According to scientific studies, optimistic people also live longer. By the way: talking to yourself is also very healthy. Talking to ourselves has a great influence on our well-being and can calm and motivate us.
7. being true to yourself - and being able to laugh at yourself
Knowing your strengths is important. But weaknesses also make you likeable if you admit them openly. Own up to them. So if you have a passion for sweets and are teased for it, don't get annoyed, but bake a delicious chocolate cake for everyone. Because real charismatics skillfully take the piss out of themselves.
8. having an open ear for other people
The secret of people with a positive charisma: although they are often the center of attention, they are not selfish. They listen to others when they have problems and offer their help where they can.
9. take courage! Speak up when something bothers you
Let's be honest: we swallow what goes against the grain far too often. Those who express their displeasure openly not only do themselves a favor, but also appear tough and self-determined to their fellow human beings. But: always maintain an appropriate, polite tone of voice.
10. show the whole world: I have visions
"I want to make a difference, change it, improve it!" Sentences like these go down well with friends or colleagues and show that you are a real power woman.
