Food for Thought Thoughts with Dark Cancer
Season 2, Episode 7: How Charismatic Are You? (A 6-Point Test)
What is charisma? Is it an innate gift, or a skill that can be learned? In this episode of the Essential Skills series, Dark Cancer demystifies charisma, breaking it down into a set of practical, learnable skills that anyone can develop.
This episode is your guide to understanding the qualities that make a person magnetic and influential. The host explains that charisma is the result of excellent communication and interpersonal skills, a combination of influence (leadership and presence) and affability (being approachable and pleasant).
The centerpiece of the episode is a 6-point self-test from the University of Toronto that allows you to measure your own charisma score. The host also provides a deep dive into the components of influence and affability, covering:
- The importance of confidence, optimism, and resilience.
- Why charismatic people are good storytellers.
- The "swimming swan" analogy for emotional control.
- How to build rapport by being a genuine and active listener.
