More charisma

In my continued search for the perfect definition of charisma I came up with another thought. The idea wasn't particularly well formulated in words until I read a blog post from Nick Morgan. He managed to capture it perfectly with the words "charisma is focused emotion". Exactly!

The other aspects of my definition are: self-confidence (the belief you have something important to say and are worth listening to), positivity and enthusiasm, and presence (that you are completely present in the moment). Yeah, there's a bit more too but I'll leave it at that for the moment.
