"How to become more charismatic" --
"Charismatic people pay attention. They look you in the eye and listen, taking in what you’re saying mentally, emotionally, and physically. They aren’t formulating their next sentence; they’re too busy absorbing yours. They make you feel validated and worthy and you want to be around them as much as possible."
Ah, listening.... :-) Nice article
Yes, when you see an actor/performer who seems to be listening it's impressive, when you see someone in 'real life' listening it's a gift.

Can charisma be learned? It is certainly up for debate, and I don’t profess to know the answer. However, I do know that one of the most bewitching traits of charismatic people is their ability to make whoever they are talking to feel special and important.
