Have you ever witnessed someone walking into the room and immediately, seemingly without trying, capture the attention of everyone in the room? No matter where they go, they have all eyes following them. You feel the energy change when they are there and when they leave. 

Where everything about them draws you in like a magnet? Where did that magnet feel like joy, inspiration, and motivation that you can’t find unless you are around them? No, it’s not lust or love. Instead, these people have what is known as charisma. 

When you meet someone like I have face to face who has charisma, you’ll feel an unavoidable attractiveness that inspires you. An alluring characteristic that many seek due to the benefits those with charisma have. Charismatic people are often successful business owners, leaders, and innovators. But, contrary to many people’s personal beliefs, charisma can be something you develop and learn to project. The following six common traits of charismatic people can give you an idea of what you need to develop and enhance in your own situation.

Influential 

Charismatic people are influential because they lead by example. I have a several high-performance coaches who I follow who fit this area very well. They are not afraid to be who they are. They’re not worried about showing themselves while respecting those around them.

Optimistic 

Seeing the positive side to everything is how charismatic people get moving each morning. They genuinely believe that most things, no matter how they feel in the moment, have something positive to gain. Charismatic people see failure as an opportunity to grow and learn, and if they can’t see it, they change it. 

Amicable 

Charismatic people also can remain calm, personable, friendly, and respectful even through disagreements. They stand their ground while fully understanding the boundaries of others. 

Adaptable 

The many reasons why charismatic people can light up any room is their ability to adapt quickly. Highly aware of their surroundings and actions, they seek to make it easy to adapt to their environments and communicate easily and affective with others.

Confident 

They hold their selves well and believe in their ability but without the toxic arrogant ego. They understand that people around them are just as important as them – no one is greater than or better than the other. 

Persistent 

Charismatic people have a clear understanding of their goals and desires in life, and they will do what it takes to get there. They have the determination and accountability needed to make the right choices and actions each day. 

In the end, selflessness, mindfulness, and the love for others and their passions work together to form charismatic people. If you want to be just as successful as charismatic people, live your life each day with these traits in mind.
