If only it were this simple:

Learn to open your heart, learn to see the virtue in suffering in others and all will be well with you. Let love and compassion guide your every thought, and the universe will reward you.

Alas, it ain’t so.

You know this – it’s one of the reasons why hippies haven’t risen to the top of every industry.

(That and most hippies don’t experience universal love and compassion. They talk a lot about it, but will turn their nose up at oil executives. Are they not people too? Hmm?)

Don’t mistake me here – a little bit of universal compassion will do wonders for your charisma.

You can’t rely on it, though. So many folks just don’t like people like that.

That’s why the Compassionate Soul is just one flavour out of the eight in the charisma buffet.

I talk about this – and what to do about it – in Flavours of Charisma – my guide to the multifaceted nature of human-to-human relating. Charisma isn’t always just the suave guy in a suit delivering smooth-as-oil pickup lines at a bar.

If you think about the popular, respected and influential people you know, you’ll see they’re popular in different ways.

Flavours of Charisma shows you how you’re already potentially popular, how to build on that and how to round out the flaws in your style.

After all, plenty of folks find the guy in the suit cheesy.

The best style of charisma changes to fit the person in front of you. What could be more influential than someone who sees who you are and responds appropriately?

Something to consider as you get your hands on Flavours of Charisma here:
