And I'm honored and flattered to see that

It was a sunny day in New York City 1955.

And Marilyn Monroe wanted to prove a point.

she walked down into Grand Central Station.

the platform was packed with people, not a single person noticed her,

she boarded the train and rode along quietly in a corner of the car.

What Marilyn wanted to show was that just by deciding to,

she could be either glamorous Ms. Monroe or plain Norma Jeane Baker.

But when she resurfaced onto the busy New York sidewalks,

So, she looked around and she teasingly asked the photographer:

"So, do you want to see her, the Marilyn?"

and then he said, there were no grand gestures - she just

"fluffed up her hair, and struck a pose."

And yet, with this simple shift, she suddenly became magnetic.

An aura of magic seemed to ripple out from her,

Time stood still, as did the people around her,

who starred in amazement as they suddenly recognized

In an instant Marilyn was engulfed by fans, and

"it took several scary moments" to help her escape the growing crowd.

Charisma has always been an intriguing and controversial topic.

And when I tell people that as part of my leadership work,

"But I thought it was something that you're either born with or not."

others are eager to learn, but everyone is fascinated.

It can determine whether you're seen as a follower or a leader,

and how effectively your projects are implemented.

Like it or not, charisma can make the world go round - because

I realized that I really only had two choices,

either exile myself to a desert island or somehow

but I'm still keeping the desert island option open.

it turns out that of all the myths surrounding the subject,

the most commonly held was of charisma as an innate,

Instead, as extensive research has shown,

charisma is the result of specific behaviors.

This is the reason (one of the reasons) why charisma

levels fluctuate and as Marilyn demonstrated

it can be there one moment and gone the next.

In fact, in controlled laboratory experiments,

researchers were able to raise or lower people's level of charisma,

just by instructing them to display specific charismatic behaviors.

Charisma has been turned into an applied science.

mistakenly held to be innate is that, like many other social skills,

charismatic behaviors are usually learned early in life,

when people don't even consciously realize they are learning them.

Eventually, the behaviors become instinctive.

Some people, however, make a conscious decision that they are going

each of the charismatic behaviors we're covering tonight.

not everyone is going to become Steve Jobs,

But everyone can learn enough charisma to see

a measurable difference in their daily lives.

So with that said, what are the behaviors that create charisma?

Well, they fall into three categories: behaviors of presence,

behaviors of power, and behaviors of warmth.

power and warmth are critical to achieve charisma.

The only thing that changes is what kind of charisma you will

get depending on which of these components is strongest.

So, let's look at each of these components in turn.
