10 Ways to Become More Charismatic by John Leonard It is an intangible quality that

Charisma is a combination of how you feel about yourself and the impression people have of you.

A large part of charisma involves good communication skills, which can be learned by anybody -- including you. For further information on the Five O'Clock Club and it's many resources, click here.
