Many think that when they get into positions of leadership or prominence that others should be serving them or looking up to them.\\xa0 This is great way to turn people off and decrease your ability to be charismatic.\\xa0 If your only focus is on you, then eventually all then the focus will be off you.\\xa0 Sure others might run to your attention, but they are doing it for money or recognition, they are not doing it because of who you are.\\xa0 When you start to focus on others, show some kindness and offer goodwill, offer some charity, and the focus will return to you.\\xa0 When you look for the good in others you become better yourself.\\xa0 When you start looking for ways to serve, not only do you open the doors to influence, it increases your well being and your happiness.

You demonstrate goodwill by focusing on positives and being careful with the negatives.\\xa0 Don\\u2019t be harsh or forceful when dealing with people.\\xa0 Remember most people can be highly sensitive or feel overly vulnerable. (Remember esteem)\\xa0 Watch your statements and your actions and always show that you have the audience\\u2019s best interest in mind.\\xa0\\xa0 Never criticize someone unless you really need to and do it the right way.\\xa0 Criticism damages your relationship and destroys the connection you have with them and hurts your charisma.\\xa0 Instead, find something positive and show goodwill.\\xa0 This will increase acceptance and self-confidence.\\xa0 Many times we correct or criticize in the wrong way and this destroys the possibility for leadership, loyalty and charisma.\\xa0 Anytime someone feels stupid or you are perceived as inconsiderate and your ability to lead or influence diminishes.\\xa0 Little do most people know that their comments cause rebellion and resentment.\\xa0 Show you care, show some goodwill and you automatically will transfer charisma.

A big part of goodwill is the mindset of abundance.\\xa0 Abundance is a state of mind that allows you to give knowing that the universe will reward you.\\xa0 You don\\u2019t do it for the reward, you do it because it is the right thing to do.\\xa0 As author Stephen Covey said "the abundance mentality (which) flows out of a deep inner sense of personal worth and security.\\xa0 It is the paradigm that there is plenty out there and enough to spare for everybody.... It opens possibilities, options, alternatives, and creativity."\\xa0 You know that when you give of your time, money or even skills that it is not only the right thing to do, it increases your abundance, your health and your happiness and your charisma.\\xa0 Get past the scarcity mentality society has given you and see the abundance the world has to offer.\\xa0 Realize we are all on the same human team and we all have different strengths and weaknesses.\\xa0 Always be willing to share your strengths and someone will appear to help you with your weaknesses.
