Key principles include [b]showing genuine interest, being a good listener, using people's names, smiling, and making others feel important.[/b] For leadership and influence, it's recommended to avoid criticism, begin with praise, talk about your own mistakes before correcting others, and ask questions instead of giving direct orders.

Look people in the eye, use their name, ask about them… their family and hobbies. Remember them and bring it up in conversation. How’s your horseback riding going? Is your daughter enjoying Chicago? Etc.

If you have friends/coworkers you should know ~10 facts about them. [/quote]

This x 100.

A few years ago my daughter placed in a competition, and a part of the prize was a lunch with our congresswoman.  5 elementary school kids were invited to sit with her in her office and eat pizza.  You had to see HOW she talked to the kids, like they were the most important people and she was absolutely serious listening to and discussing their ideas on how to run the country.  She then had a brief talk with the parents, and I realized that’s how she is with people in general. [/quote]

I'm not sure magnetism can be reduced to a five point plan - though being genuinely interested in others and being kind is a helpful trait for everyone. But I recall meeting Bill Clinton once for a whole minute, and my takeaway was that this was the most charismatic person I've ever met. One minute and my thought was we could totally be besties.

There's a shape-shifter quality to really magnetic people. They meet people where they are at and totally engage. No looking over the shoulders for more useful people. 100 percent focused on this person's world without reservation. Such people do very well in politics and sales. Not sure I'd want to be married to such a person though. Every day another hundred people fall in love. In OPs example, I am certain every man in that orbit is well aware of this woman's charisma. And it transcends looks or wealth or anything else.

It's really fascinating.
