WHAT DRAWS OTHERS TO YOU?

(Part 2)

“When you set yourself on fire, people just love to come and see your burn,” – John Wesley.

RESULTS!

Since people like being around winners and want to play on the winning team, charismatic leaders have the ability to produce. The want to be on the winning side of life. They don’t only desire to win, but want others to win too – this creates productivity!

INFLUENCE!

Leadership is influence! If something new, exciting and interesting is happening in your life, you'll want to share it with others. In doing so, you'll influence others and they'll want to follow your lead.

What happens to you, speaks of your circumstances. What happens in you, speaks of your character. And what happens through you, speaks of your charisma!

SENSITIVITY!

Charismatic leaders don't just have the ability to be sensitive to changing situations – they feel it, know how to react and express it. They find a cause; voice a concern; and draw a crowd. To become more sensitive, you must be willing to take a risk – get out of your comfort zone; find a need and take action!

MOTIVATION!

The secret of motivating others is providing them with hope. People tend to feel more positive when they are following characteristic leaders. Do you convey hope or despair to those around you? Learn affirmation skills, problem-solving techniques, ways to verbally encourage others, and convey belief and support in others.

AFFIRMATION!

This is the ability to build people up. Everyone wants and needs to be affirmed for his or her accomplishments. We tend to become what the most important person in our life thinks we will become.

Think the best, believe the best, and express the best in others. Your affirmation will not only make you more attractive to them, but you will help play an important part in their personal development.

After all, the key to unlocking your charisma unravels the truth about "being more concerned about making others feel good about themselves than you are, in making them feel good about you!”
