Charisma isn't just "something you're born with"; it's a specific set of behaviors that can be learned by anyone. You can practice these skills, and work on the three main areas of charisma: presence, power and warmth.
I'll present some of the exercises found in The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism (by Olivia Fox Cabane), and we'll see if we can find some fun ways of practicing!
If anyone has any good ideas for locations, please let me know; ideally, we would want a location where we can talk loudly without fear of bothering anyone. If the weather permits, we could do it outside.
Charismatic to whom? For example, I personally think Christopher Hitchens was charismatic, even if he wasn't particularly warm. Even possessing all three traits mentioned above, you're not going to look charismatic trying to sell Satanism to Evangelical Christians. The content of what you say also matters.
