Introduction to Charisma Workshop
What is Charisma?
Charisma has long been debated as to what exactly it is. The Greeks described it as “a divine gift,” adding to its reputation that charisma is this magic innate quality reserved only for the lucky few. Art of Charisma is here to pop that bubble. Not only is charisma a very real quality, but it is also learnable, and anyone can acquire it. Charisma is a breakdown of soft skills that, when applied during conversations, can release positive feelings towards you. This feeling we have towards someone we describe as charisma. A charisma workshop is designed to enhance your soft skills to create this positive feeling deliberately, especially in situations where you need to persuade or influence someone.
Why is Charisma Important for Leaders?
Charismatic leaders have been making an impact on our world and in our organizations for years. You do not need to look far to spot Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, or Joe Rogan to see how charisma can impact your success. Charismatic leaders can inspire their team, rally others behind their big ideas, become more memorable, influence others to think like them, increase employee performance, and develop meaningful connections. While hard skills are important in the corporate world, to be successful as a leader, you need more than just proficiency in your job; you need to harness the power of charisma to get more opportunities.
The Components of Charisma
There are several components of charisma; it is not just one skill but a portfolio of qualities that build on each other to create the charisma effect. You can master one of these components; however, to have that ‘charismatic effect,’ you need to be skilled in each of the following elements:
- Creating a killer first impression that leaves others saying “WOW.”
- Identifying different personality types and tailoring your approach to each of them.
- Effortlessly making good conversations that go beyond small talk.
- Starting a conversation with confidence and assertiveness.
- Connecting with someone.
- Sharing stories that convey meaning, an idea, or a moral.
- Being self-aware of your body language.
- Decoding cues.
- Speaking using rhetoric.
- Showing confidence.
- Being able to persuade high-status people.
Charisma is made up of a range of soft skills that you can master and apply in your professional and personal life. The charisma workshop takes each of these elements and goes into detail, including strategies, techniques, methods, and practical examples so you can be best prepared for real-life situations.
The philosophy of the Art of Charisma is to conduct yourself with authenticity. While you may be able to execute the technical elements of charisma, if you do not do them authentically or genuinely, the house comes crashing down. At its core, charisma must be true and authentic to yourself; it’s never good to fake it until you make it.
Our Teaching Process
Our aim is to offer an immersive learning experience for our clients. We want you to leave the charisma workshop feeling confident with a portfolio of new skills to exercise your newfound charisma. We use three training methods to deliver the best learning experiences for our clients.
Discussion Sessions
In each charisma workshop, we like to start off with a discussion session, asking thought-provoking questions, challenging students, and learning more about the obstacles they face. This stage is crucial because it allows learners to question their preconceived ideas about charisma and leadership. It can also help to engage in friendly discussions to work through new ideas and situations and coach them through it.
Video Analysis
A core element of a charisma workshop is video analysis, where we review videos of charismatic people using the techniques and break down, step-by-step, what they are doing and how we can apply it in our own lives. This enhances the theory that the client has learned, giving a visual representation of what ‘good’ looks like so that they can apply the same strategies to their own situation.
Activities
The charisma workshop becomes effective when activities such as communication games, role-play, and listening exercises are incorporated into the learning experience. You can read about techniques, watch others do the techniques, but the most powerful way to learn is to do them yourself. This element of the charisma workshop provides the most immersive experience because we create situations and scenarios that our clients will come across in their regular lives.
How Charisma Impacts Our Career
People do not realize that 85% of your financial success is due to skills in “human engineering” (EQ), your personality, and your ability to communicate, negotiate, and lead. Within your career, you will need to network with others, influence someone to give you an opportunity, build relationships with hiring managers, connect with a board of directors, persuade a client to buy from you, sell your idea to an investor, and build trust with team members, all of which can be achieved through having strong charisma. When it comes to leveling up our professional skills, charisma is overlooked every time, and it’s most likely one of the biggest components that is holding us back in our professional success. If you want to stop being forgotten in meetings, never have your ideas picked up, or miss out on opportunities, then you need to improve your charisma.
How Much is a Charisma Workshop
A charisma workshop is very different from charisma coaching; workshops are usually done in a classroom environment with many people involved. Charisma coaching is done online and on a 1-2-1 basis; however, the core elements of the workshop are covered in the coaching. For an individual, a charisma workshop can cost anything from $60 to $250. For a business to hire a trainer to come into their organization, it can cost anything from $1000 to $4000 per day, depending on the number of attendees.
