There are 3 things you need to be more likable, magnetic and influential and that is presence, self confidence, and be expressive.

While there are people born with charisma, this is a trait that can be learned and mastered. Marilyn Monroe was the master of charismatic presence. She could be plain jane Norma Jean or she could instantly become Marilyn Monroe all with a subtle shift of her beingness.

With presence, you have to practice the world not being about you. Presence requires you to be fully interested and engaged in other people. Make someone feel like they are the only person around. If you are a business owner, you know how much this affects your business.

Self confidence is huge. Consider it a lot like bravery. You have to move boldly and hold your head high even if you are unsure of the circumstances you are walking into. You have to believe you’ve got this no matter what.

Expressive gestures with animated body language and facial features shows people you have passion. It is easier to become excited about someone who is alive with animation than a dole drum person that looks like they wouldn’t know excitement if it fell on their lap.

Mastering likability is about mastering yourself. If you want to change the world, you must begin with yourself.
