Deep dives
Charisma is a Learnable Skill
Charisma is not an innate trait but a learnable skill. In her book, Q's, Vanessa Van Edwards explains that highly charismatic people use specific signals called Q's to communicate with the world. These Q's are social signals that we constantly use to communicate with each other. By mastering these Q's, individuals can harness the power of charisma for themselves. Vanessa has identified 96 specific Q's used by highly charismatic people and has found that adopting these Q's can positively impact communication and perception of charisma.
The Importance of Warmth and Competence
According to research, warmth and competence are key factors in how we perceive others, accounting for 82% of our impression. However, many of us have an imbalance between the two. Highly warm individuals desire to be liked and can struggle with setting boundaries and being respected. On the other hand, highly competent individuals desire to be seen as capable and impressive but can be perceived as unapproachable or cold. Finding a balance between warmth and competence is crucial for building rapport and credibility in both professional and social settings.
Charisma. Some people have it, some people don’t. Or so we’ve been led to believe. But speaker, researcher, and bestselling author Vanessa Van Edwards says that to be charismatic, you just have to harness the power of cues. But wait. What are cues? Tune in to find out.
