How to Unleash Your Inner Charisma: A Journey with Milena Dalinaros


Listen Later

Hey guys, happy Saturday! I know this episode is super late, and I'll tell you why. Thanks, Microsoft. Yesterday, I was late getting anything done because with the outage, everybody's computer at work was down. So we had to do all our paperwork by hand, and none of us have done that in a good 15 years. By the time the computers came back up, it was super late, and my computer crashed. So by the time I got things up and running, I'm just now recording this podcast. My apologies. That's just how life goes. It's never-ending, and you just got to roll with the punches. But I still thank you guys for tuning in.

I hope you're able to listen to the podcast and hope things are better by Monday. One can only hope, right? That's all we got. I do have a thing on charisma and contrary to belief, charisma, you're not born with it. You can actually create charisma and it's very easy because my next guest is a master of it. Her name is Milena Dalinaros, and she gets hired to teach people to be charismatic. She's got degrees in psychology and rhetoric and a background in the armed forces. Her journey began by teaching techniques for conversation, interviewing, and building relationships to military personnel. Charisma, although not explicitly named, played a crucial role in most of the successful implementations of the knowledge she conveyed.

Milena noticed how charisma transformed social interactions, networking, and conversations into superpowers. So, she decided to start coaching with science-backed classes that helped her students widen their comfort zones and develop their talents within the realm of interpersonal relationships. And now she's starting to write a unique book about charisma and exploring the many elements that constitute charisma. She's also building a charisma coaching program. You guys, she just finished her website. So you will be some of the first to see it and navigate it. I will put that in the show notes. So be a nice, warm, welcoming guest to Milena and listen about charisma.

Learning about charisma is not that hard. You can instantly learn and do with just simple body language, and it's an instant feedback. Not only will you build your own confidence, but people will also see confidence in you. I know communication is really, really hard for most of you guys to convey with your body language and your faces. That's why it's something you can practice every day by looking in the mirror. You can also role play with friends and with your parental units. They would love to help you out. It's something that can be learned and it's practice. It's just a part of communication. And sometimes you can learn it from just watching people because that's all it is, is people watching.

I hope you learned some great tidbits from Milena. Like I said, I'll post her website in the show notes. Please, please like the Facebook, check out the website. And as always, see you, well, not technically see you, check back on Wednesday for a new episode. And as always, keep adulting.
