Host Sheila Boysen-Rotelli is discussing real charisma, that being, more authentic than what you get from a book or webinar. Even those who are very charismatic in person have a hard time displaying it over a computer screen!

• Physical charisma is very difficult to directly translate over a computer screen

• Stage presence can be transferred over the screen in a variety of different ways
• Your face needs to take up roughly ⅓ of your screen, especially if there are multiple people on the screen
• Expensive lighting isn't needed, but making sure you are in the best light possible will work to your advantage
• Nodding and smiling come more naturally in-person, but also need to be emulated virtually

• Make an effort to look at the camera more often rather than have your eyes moving all over the screen

• Being intentional with words, questions, and tones in your virtual meetings is vital to your perceived charisma

3 Key Points:

1. It takes a completely different set of skills and attributes to display e-charisma, that being charisma over the computer, than it takes to display in-person charisma.
2. Nodding, smiling, great lighting, and appropriate distance from the camera are a variety of ways to display charisma over the screen.
3. Eye contact goes a long way in person, but even more over a screen, given how many screens and documents there are to look at during a virtual meeting.

• Take charge of where your career is going rather than going with the flow
• Use the feedback that you have received about your performance to close the gaps

• Stay aware that managers don't always have your career advancement at the front of their mind
