This helpful resource explores the vital skills and traits needed to earn trust, generate interest, and motivate others in the workplace.
Bestselling author Kurt Mortensen defines the intersection of these pivotal abilities as charisma--an enviable quality that can lead to improved relationships, greater income, and more success in every area of life. To some extent, charisma is innate but in this inspiring guide, Mortensen explores the trait’s four core elements to show how anyone can draw out a more charismatic and compelling presence.
With the help of practical tools, simple principles, applicable exercises, and insightful assessments, The Laws of Charisma will teach you how to:
radiate confidence, passion, power, and optimism;influence others by improving communication skills;and persuade and empower anyone by creating instant rapport.
People with the ability to enter a room and draw instant attention, effortlessly exuding charm and radiating energy, are better able to influence what gets done and ultimately achieve what they want. The Laws of Charisma is packed with everything you need to develop and bring out the more charismatic person within.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Some people seem to be born with the ability to captivate, charm, influence, and inspire others. But certain skills and traits can be learned, says author Mortensen (Maximum Influence), and he outlines various principles to help readers increase their ability to succeed. While the book starts out strong, with an impassioned introduction, and the quick chapters are broken up into digestible bits, the work falls short. The tone is elementary, the format becomes somewhat repetitive, and many of the lessons in self-improvement are too basic: for example, Mortensen discusses how professional dress and titles can enhance one s image and add to one s authority, and stresses the importance of communication and presentation skills. For readers early in their careers or who are stuck in a rut, this work might offer a practical look at possible blind spots or perception biases and fundamental skills to work on. For bosses, the straightforward tips might provide a safe and constructive teaching tool. But for those who are trying to take their powers of persuasion to a higher level, the work may be too simplistic.
