Did you know that charismatic people are more successful, happier and healthier? Have you ever wondered what it is and how you can develop your own charisma? Whatever your views prepare to hear a rather controversial perspective from Nikki Owen, Charisma Expert who adopts an 'alternative' perspective to enhancing authentic charisma. Harvard Business Review and University of Lausanne research shows that charisma boosts leadership performance by 60%. Charisma is seen as an intangible concept that often attracts a negative reaction in the world of business. There is a stereotypical image that a charismatic individual is a confident extrovert with a big personality. Even if charisma can be taught (and many research papers indicate that it can't) the question is; how important is charisma for leaders, entrepreneurs, emerging talent and high potentials? Join us on this show to find out the difference Charisma your natural charisma.

We have had some incredible guests and stories on this show. This show in particular has true meaning to me. About 6 years ago, I watched an incredible DVD called 'Mastery' which included the story of Paul Reed Smith and how his dreams of making a guitar for Carlos Santana had turned into a reality. Today PRS Guitars in my mind have become an iconic brand. Go to any guitar show and guitarists are buzzing with excitement around the PRS stand. The story inspired me so much that I bought a beautiful PRS Custom 24 guitar and became committed to really learn how to play. Initially, I didn't feel worthy to have such a guitar today I have even experienced a standing ovation. I regularly talk about my guitar, include images of it in my keynote speeches and mention how the values and the journey of PRS guitars so inspired me. Join this show to find out how PRS Guitars went from a dream to an exceptional business and how you can do the same with your business with President of PRS Guitars Jack Higginbotham.
