Charisma is a learnable skill. I think we all have a baseline level that we're born with we've been conditioned with, but it doesn't mean you can't get to where you want to go because the truth is charisma is not just one skill, it's like 20 different skills.
But if you're powerful, but you're arrogant or you're cold, that you're not necessarily going to be charismatic. And people are not necessarily going to want to be led by you.
if you put on a seminar about speaking with power, you'll let people wind up out the door. But if you put on a seminar about actively listening and becoming a great listener, good luck selling tickets to that
