From the course: Nano Tips for Developing Magnetic Charisma with Shadé Zahrai

Pausing for charisma

- A super simple way to increase your charisma and your personal magnetism comes down to what I call the 3SP, three second pause. You might have noticed that people who rate really highly on charisma have this quiet confidence about them. If you've ever watched an interview with one, you'll notice that they often pause before answering a question. They remain silent, but they maintain eye contact for around three seconds. Not only does it convey confidence and self-assuredness, it also gives them time to collect their thoughts, to take a breath, and deliver a really well considered response. This is a great tip for professional environments or if you experience any kind of interaction anxiety where you blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. Try out the power of 3SP.
