Have you ever watched someone walk into a room and instantly capture attention, without even saying a word? That’s charisma. But here’s the truth: it’s not some mystical, born-with-it energy. It’s a set of communication skills that you can master.

In this solo episode of Speaking with Confidence, I unpack what charisma really is and how it ties directly into being a powerful communicator. Whether you're leading a team, giving a presentation, or just trying not to disappear in a meeting, the balance of warmth and competence is your secret weapon.

We’ll explore how your body language can speak volumes before your voice does, how simple adjustments can shift how people perceive you, and how your mindset may be the biggest block to developing your presence.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• The science-backed truth: charisma is a learnable behavior
• Why presence, power, and warmth matter more than your title
• Body language habits that increase your impact
• How to project confidence and still be approachable
• Tools to boost public speaking confidence and fight imposter syndrome
