The Charisma Myth shatters the idea that charisma is an innate gift, revealing it as a set of behaviors that anyone can master to become more influential and persuasive. Discover the three core components of charisma: presence, power, and warmth. Olivia Fox Cabane provides practical, science-backed techniques to help you overcome anxiety, project confidence, and connect authentically with others. Learn how to master your body language, conversation style, and mindset to captivate any room you enter.
