Olivia and Dax talk about translating charisma research into a teachable system, showing founders why body language can outweigh a flawless pitch, and updating her book with cutting-edge research on digital charisma. Olivia explains why focused listening gives introverts an advantage, why genuine warmth cannot be faked, and how too much charisma can leave powerful people dangerously unaccountable.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/Take printer ink off your back to school list with HP Smart Tank | https://hp.com/SmartTank See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Send us Fan MailOlivia Fox Cabane, author of the international bestseller The Charisma Myth, joins Joe to explore the science and practice of charisma—what it really is, why the biggest myths about it persist, and how anyone can deliberately develop it.This episode dismantles the idea that charisma is an innate, magical quality reserved for a lucky few. Olivia shows that charisma is a set of learned behaviors built on three core elements—presence, power, and warmth—that can be dialed up or down depending on personality, situation, and goals. She explains how these elements work together (much like sugar, fat, and salt) to create the powerful effect we label “charisma,” and why first impressions form in under two seconds largely through body language rather than status symbols or titles.Olivia also unpacks the internal work required: managing the inner critic, dismantling imposter syndrome, using visualization and gratitude to shift mindset, and practicing self-compassion so confidence (and therefore power) can show up externally. She shares practical tools for presence (from a two-second toe focus to short meditation), warmth, and power, while warning about the real downsides of leaving the “charisma switch” on too long—people oversharing, leaders persuading others of flawed ideas, and the emotional cost of constant high output.Joe and Olivia also discuss:Why presence, power, and warmth must all reach a minimum threshold, yet different “flavors” of charisma (authority, kindness, visionary, etc.) emerge from which element is strongest How body language consistently outweighs titles, cars, or clothing in conveying power Why distraction (especially phones) instantly kills charisma and how even a 17-millisecond delay in facial response registers as inauthentic The role of self-criticism as the biggest inhibitor of power—and why self-compassion and instant self-forgiveness are essential tools Practical ways to combat imposter syndrome: destigmatize it, detach from the feeling, and reframe it as useful fuel Visualization techniques (and gratitude practices) for generating genuine warmth before walking into a room How to accept compliments so the other person feels good for giving them Emotional contagion in leadership and why a leader's calm under stress can steady an entire team The surprising science of voice, online charisma (bandwidth, camera angle, gesturing even when unseen), and why lower pitch is not inherently more charismatic The darker sides of high charisma: over-persuasion of bad ideas, people getting “hooked,” and the need to sometimes dial it down Why self-regulation is the single most important underlying skillThis episode is for anyone who wants to become more influential, present, and effective—whether in leadership, sales, interviews, or everyday interactions—without relying on status or personality luck. It is also for those who already feel charismatic and want to use the skill more deliberately and responsibly, for founders and managers seeking healthier team dynamics, and for anyone ready to treat charisma as a trainable set of behaviors rather than a fixed trait.A special thanks to this week's sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.

Olivia Fox Cabane: The Charisma Myth Olivia Fox Cabane is one of the world's leading authorities on the science of charisma and the bestselling author of The Charisma Myth, which has been translated into 27 languages. Previously Director of Innovative Leadership for Stanford StartX, Olivia has lectured on charisma, leadership, and innovation at Harvard, Yale, MIT, the Marine War College and the United Nations. She has been featured in The New York Times, The Economist, and The Wall Street Journal and has recently released the revised version of The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism (Amazon, Bookshop)*. Charisma. We all notice leaders who've got it. Many of us wish we had more of it. Good news though – like so many leadership skills we talk about on this podcast, you can get better at it. In this conversation, Olivia and I explore how almost anyone can improve their charisma. Key Points Charisma is a skill that you can learn and practice. While some people have natural strengths for charisma more so than others, people are not simply born charismatic. Many just start young. You don't have to be naturally outgoing. You can be a very charismatic introvert. Presence + Power + Warmth = Charisma Power is the “Can you move mountains for me?” question. Warmth is the “Would you want to move them for me?” question. Presence is the “Are you aware of which mountains I need moved?” question. A small amount of improvement can make a big difference on how you are perceived. Three quick tips to improve your charisma: Lower the intonation of your voice at the end of your sentences. Reduce how quickly and how often you nod. Pause for two full seconds before you speak.

Olivia Fox Cabane is the best-selling author of The Charisma Myth and a former director of innovative leadership at Stanford. She has coached leaders at companies including Apple, Google, JPMorgan, and Airbnb, and has spent years studying the science behind charisma. In this episode, Olivia explains why charisma isn't an innate personality trait but a learnable skill, how presence, power, and warmth work together, and why mastering charisma may become even more valuable as AI makes knowledge and information increasingly accessible. On this episode we talk about: Why charisma is a learned behavior rather than an innate personality trait The three core components of charisma: presence, power, and warmth How to practice charisma in low-stakes situations and make presence a daily habit The potential downsides of charisma, including manipulation, envy, and convincing people when you're actually wrong How vocal fluctuation, online communication, and AI are changing the way charisma is perceived Top 3 Takeaways Charisma can be learned. Like any other skill, charisma may feel unnatural at first, but consistent practice can make it feel effortless over time. Start with presence. In a distracted world, simply giving someone your full attention can dramatically increase your impact. Olivia recommends practicing in everyday, low-stakes interactions. Use charisma with the right intent. Charisma can be incredibly powerful, but it can also manipulate or mislead people. The goal should be to create a better experience for everyone involved, not simply to control an interaction. Notable Quotes “Charisma is a series of learned behaviors.” “The world becomes your lab and every person you meet is a chance to experiment.” “If your intent is good and your impact is good, use everything at your disposal.” Connect with Olivia Fox Cabane: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oliviafoxcabane/ Other: The Charisma Myth Website: https://www.oliviafoxcabane.com/ A Word from Our Sponsors: - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through August 23, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners Learn more about your ad choices.

In Episode 383 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, you either have it or you don't. That's what the world believes about charisma. And the woman who literally wrote the book on it — she believed that too. Then the science came back and killed the myth entirely. Olivia Fox Cabane is the author of The Charisma Myth, translated into 36 languages and one of the top five books Jason recommends to everyone. She has taught the science of charisma at Harvard, MIT, and the United Nations, coached the leadership of Apple, Google, and TikTok, and built her entire career on a single truth: the thing everyone calls a gift is actually a skill. She joins Jason today to expose the lie she once believed herself — that charisma is innate, magical, and either yours at birth or not yours at all. Today, Olivia sits down with Jason to dismantle one of the most comfortable lies a person can believe. Because if charisma is a birthright, your awkwardness isn't failure. It's just the verdict about how you were made. Nothing to fix. Nothing to work on. You're simply not one of those people. Except the verdict was fake. In this episode, Jason and Olivia cover: Why charisma was a taboo research subject for 50 years — and what changed in 1989 The two turning points in the science of charisma — and what the 2011 study proved that changed everything The three components of charisma — presence, power, and warmth — and why introverts can be more charismatic than extroverts in certain contexts How Steve Jobs learned charisma step by step in public — and what you can see if you watch him from 1983 to 2011 Why the most charismatic people learned it so early it looks like they were born with it The guardrails of intent and impact — and why charisma is a tool like a knife in the hands of a surgeon The real downsides of charisma that nobody talks about — and why Olivia keeps it turned off most of the time What happens to leadership, medicine, parenting, and sales when charisma is added — and why it's a force multiplier in every area of life What online charisma looks like and why it's different — audio compression, camera placement, and why gesturing matters even when it can't be seen What Olivia now knows that she wishes someone had told her 20 years ago — and why nobody did The one thing Olivia wants every person still inside this lie to hear before the episode ends The lie costs everyone who never heard their voice. Every quiet person with a better idea who stayed quiet. Every founder who handed the pitch to the natural in the room. This episode is the beginning of getting that credit back.
If your porch light seems to attract every moth and flying insect in the neighborhood, you're not imagining it. Scientists have finally figured out why artificial lights are so irresistible to many insects—and knowing what they've discovered can help you keep more bugs away this summer. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-44785-3 Some people seem to light up a room the moment they walk in. Others naturally draw people in, inspire confidence, and make lasting impressions. We call it charisma, and many assume you're either born with it or you're not. Olivia Fox Cabane says that's simply not true. In this conversation, she explains what charisma really is, why it's often misunderstood, and the surprisingly practical skills anyone can learn to become more influential and engaging. Olivia has advised leaders at Google, Deloitte, UBS, MGM, and TikTok, and is author of The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism (https://amzn.to/44kpuyI). For decades, we've talked about "the midlife crisis" as though it's inevitable. But what if we've gotten midlife completely wrong? Research suggests that your middle years can be one of the most productive, satisfying, and influential periods of your life. So why does this stage have such a negative reputation? And what are people in midlife uniquely positioned to do that younger and older adults often can't? Margie Lachman, Professor of Psychology at Brandeis University and director of the Lifespan Lab, shares a fresh, evidence-based perspective on why midlife deserves a lot more celebration than sympathy. She is author of Primetime: A New Vision for Midlife (https://amzn.to/4bpLbRJ).

Autism has been rightfully getting lots of media airtime lately. Indeed, it is a deeply misunderstood condition and, sadly, 85% of autistic adults are unemployed. As you'll hear in this episode and in my 2020 episode with Dr. Temple Grandin, neurodiversity can help teams thrive and people on the autism spectrum often have a lot to bring to the table at the workplace. In fact, they may bring super strengths that could be akin to what my guest refers to as the Autistic Advantage. My guest, Olivia Fox Cabane (https://www.askolivia.com/), is the author of a huge bestselling book, The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism. I loved this book and have given it out to countless people I serve. Yet, you'll hear the personal story of why Olivia wrote the book and how, as an undiagnosed person on the autism spectrum, the publicity tours associated with the book were excruciating to her.You'll also hear about how the diagnosis has been badly misunderstood, how many treatment modalities have been harmful—even extremely harmful—to people on the spectrum, and some things people need to know to better understand members in our community who are autistic. She even shares the cross-cultural aspects of being in a relationship with a neurotypical husband and some benefits of being in a neurodiverse relationship. So, listen in as Olivia and I talk about the Autistic Advantage. Please note, some descriptors of treatment modalities on this episode are graphic and violent in nature. Please listen accordingly.
This the first episode of the current season of my podcast - Pushing Beyond the Obvious and I am super happy and excited to kick off the season with none other than Lisa O'Neill. She is a self described energy and human expert. In this wide ranging conversation about energy and leadership, she shared a lot of great insights on leadership. Here are some of my takeaways from the conversation: She shared insights about the importance of knowing ourselves. If we do not know what kind of a leader we want to be, how would our team know. In order for our teams to perform at their best, they need to know exactly what we expect from them. So the first thing that we need to do as a leader is to become aware of what exactly do we want, who exactly we are and how exactly should our team engage with us. She also shared the importance of letting our team know how we roll as a leader. That way they know how to get the best out of us. High performing teams don't just need team members performing at their peak but their leaders performing at their peak as well. And this aspect of leadership is not discussed or shared enough. She shares a 4 step model to help us get more self aware - Notice, Nourish, Navigate and Nurture. In all, she shares the importance of pondering, pondering about ourselves and what we want. She also challenged the leaders listening with these three quests: Spend a week only asking questions of your team. List down all the people in your team and rate them from whom you really like to the one you least like. Answer the question - why is this so? Write down three personal things you know about everyone on your team. If you can't up with them, take them off for a cup of coffee or tea and talk to them to get to know them. In conclusion, this season could not have started at a better note than this conversation. I have lined up a lot more conversations with both thought leaders and practicing leaders for the show and am excited about how things will go from here. I hope you ride along with me on this journey.

Get the book here:EU: http://amzn.to/2lxOiMsUS: http://amzn.to/2mcpY6KThe most common charisma myth is that you either have it or you don't. Which is unfair since charismatic individuals often make more money. It determines if you are seen as a leader or a follower and it's critical in business. Anyone can learn to be charismatic by learning a set of non-verbal behaviors. Body language plays a big part in charisma, so it's really important to get your internal state right, since we can't micro manage all our body language consciously. Charisma can be broken down to three main components: Presence, power and warmth. What kind of charisma we will present depends on those three components. We can alternate between: Kindness charisma, visionary charisma, focus charisma and authority charisma. We can also blend the charisma styles together. We should adapt our charisma style depending on the situation at hand.

• Olivia Fox Cabane explains how there are four charisma types according to the proportion of power, presence and warmth. The focused charismatic (who pays deep attention to others), the visionary charismatic (who communicates their infectious passion), the kind charismatic (who inspires with warmth and compassion) and the authoritative charismatic (who leads others with expertise and power). • Depending on your goals, you can play up your natural charisma strengths or seek to balance out your weaknesses. • To be socially and emotionally comfortable, plan ahead and make sure you're physically comfortable, which will remove barriers to charismatic connection. • Use ritual and visualization as a “social warm up.” Music, meditation, and affirmations can help you prepare. • Build presence with mindfulness. Slow down, breathe and anchor in the senses. Pause before you respond, and take conscious care of every detail of the interaction, including your verbal and nonverbal expression, appearance, and behavior. • Howard Friedman emphasized the affective, nonverbal expressiveness component of charisma. • Communicate with all your body and laugh openly. Speak with a dynamic, varied voice that changes in pitch, tone and expression. Use touch to bridge distance and create warmth, aware that the rules differ for men and women. • Speak less and emote more via facial expression. If you find yourself the center of attention, relax and don't draw attention to awkwardness, using humor to defuse tension. Use exaggerated, pantomime-like gestures and initiate contact with strangers. Finally, practice the art of “platonic flirting.” • Introverts can be charismatic, but they must do so on their own terms.

Title is two books: "The Charisma Myth" by Olivia Fox Cabane and "Hook Point" by Brendan Kane Awesome books reviewed.
Sean: Do you tackle when people do get emotional in a negotiation? For example, I know that there are times when I personally felt offended, when there are negotiation counterparts when I was starting up SEO-hacker, who would give me a super-duper low price and would try to just shove it down my throat, that I have to get that deal so that will make some, one person feel bad. How do you usually respond when that happens? Mark: Some people just take the classic hard-line, "I am going to beat you down and get the lowest possible price." Some like to use intimidation. You see this particularly if one party is just physically bigger, louder, comes off stronger, and they wanna intimidate the party. But we have to remember as business negotiators. Again, there are exceptions like these hostage negotiation cases, but for, I suspect most of the audience here, we're business negotiators, this is about a business deal. And really whether that person is big or scary or loud or quiet, doesn't matter, it about does the deal work for us? And so don't be afraid first to walk away if it's not a good deal for you, but then also to recognize if you yourself are getting emotional. If they're trying these things to just tweak you to just put you in a state where you basically make a mistake because you are so emotional, it's okay to take a break. It's okay to not respond to that email immediately or to say "let's come back to this tomorrow, or I just need to step out" or even "I need to go to the bathroom for just a few minutes, we can keep going," and just walk out, recognize you you're in that mental state. And then you can use calming techniques. You can use techniques like my friend Olivia Fox Cabane has a great book called "The Charisma Myth." And there are techniques in there, for example, you just step out, go to the bathroom, whatever. When you're doing that, think about your loved ones. Think about your pet. Think about that childhood toy that made you happy. And just in your mind envision this, and that's going to shift your mental state from being in that angry, emotional, ‘I have to fight back because that person said something very mean', to I'm thinking of my childhood pet. I'm imagining playing with my dog. I'm relaxed. I'm happy. Okay. We have an issue on the table. I'm going to come back to it, but I can do so in a state where I don't have those emotions clouding my judgment.

The charisma myth is the idea that charisma is a fundamental, inborn quality—you either have it (Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs, Oprah) or you don't. But that's simply not true, as Olivia Fox Cabane reveals. Charismatic behaviors can be learned and perfected by anyone. Drawing on techniques she originally developed for Harvard and MIT, Cabane breaks charisma down into its components. Becoming more charismatic doesn't mean transforming your fundamental personality. It's about adopting a series of specific practices that fit in with the personality you already have. The Charisma Myth shows you how to become more influential, more persuasive, and more inspiring.

When it comes to charisma, people often think of movie and television stars in the spotlight. They believe that charisma depends on one’s natural appearance, temperament, and some inborn qualities that are difficult to explain. However, that’s not the case. This book, The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism tells us that charisma is not innate but a practical skill that anyone can learn. All of us can be charismatic if we consciously practice charisma techniques.
Charisma - Presence Why talk about charisma? Listen in to learn how to improve your communication and leadership skills by building your charisma. Connection between leadership and communication – the one that communicates with clarity is the leader. Charisma improves your communication – especially to those that follow more by “feel” (which we all do to some degree, and others do it better). Speaking for people who don't give speeches - why should you work on this space? Natural talent X effort = skills. Skills X effort = achievement Theory A lot of people's reaction to leaders/communicators/people is NOT at the top of their head. You'll say afterwards “I like her/him”. The “liking them” happens irrationally, and THEN you work back with rational reasons why you like them. 3 areas to help – Presence, Power, and Warmth. I got a lot of this from Brett McKay, a writer over at the art of manliness who pulled heavily from Olivia Fox Cabane, author of The Charisma Myth Presence – are you there? Look in their eyes. Don't be afraid of silences – a lot of time you are thinking about what you want to say People typically will not call you out on low levels of presence, they'll simply feel/report afterwards not much of a connection, versus “I like that guy/gal" Less is more – your charisma enhanced by listening far more than you might think At work. Turn on the speaker view in remote meetings. Hide your own view, so you aren't distracted by your fantastic looks. Really, don't multitask! If you are multi-tasking consider dropping your attendance form the meeting. Restate what they said – but don't be patronizing “what I heard you say” You have to actually be seeking to understand...you can do a bit of repackaging for a long ramble (people appreciate the help summarizing their thoughts), but do not manipulate with your restatement. With Kids Don't be so quick to spout your words of wisdom – slow down a bit to really be in the moment. Ask good open ended questions, not closed ended. Can you do that? Tell me about how you could do that.. You don't have to spend hours and hours, but the time you do spend with kids - be intentional, try to really be present for SOME of the time. In Faith Be present when you talk to God. Trying to cram in time with God typically doesn't work. Get in the right physical space & posture, man! If you have a pinging thought pop up, find a notepad to write out the thought, give it a bit of space, then get back to God. In church services? Try a few things to be more present Have a plan for lunch before you go. Try leaving your phone in the car. Pay attention to the words of the song, even pause from singing to listen to the faithful Next up in the Charisma Pt 2 - Power and Warmth Resources Charisma Series at Art of Manliness https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/the-3-elements-of-charisma-presence/ Join the Mighty Angel Newsletter to get tips on work, family, and faith – as well as content not on the audio www.mightyangelpodcast.com Song attribution New Hero In Town by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5742-new-hero-in-town License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
The topic of today's episode of the podcast is charisma and I cannot stress enough the importance of this subject.Charisma, contrary to popular belief, is a skill and a skill that can help you in so many ways in life, from gaining respect and admiration, to succeeding professionally, from attracting the partner of your dreams, to having your kids hear and listen to you every time, from gaining popularity amongst your friends, to being able to stand up for your or somebody else' rights when need be.Not a bad deal, is it?But behind the surface and as if it weren't enough, charisma is not only a toolbox you can decide to use, or not use, to succeed at anything you want, but also the starting point of your inner growth into a more accomplished, self-centered and impactful human being.The subject is complex and fascinating, and I am so excited to discuss it with one of the worlds' leading experts and an incredible guest.Olivia Fox Cabane is the author of the book The Charisma Myth and if you want to do yourself a favor, listen to this interview and then go buy the book which by the way , went into second printing before it even launched; and which has ever since been translated into 32 languagesOlivia Fox Cabane has taught leadership, innovation, genius, and charisma at Harvard, Yale, MIT and the United Nations. She is the cofounder of KindEarth.Tech and former Director of Innovative Leadership for Stanford's startup accelerator as well as a best-selling author and keynote speaker for Fortune 500 companies."Her class on charisma at UC Berkeley's Business School was so popular that university staff had to guard the entrance to ensure only admitted participants gained entrance”

In light of the recent Mother's Day celebration, Wade appropriately interviews a tough mother of three. Whitney is a stay at home mom who decided that she needed something that was going to engage her physically and mentally — and tennis just wasn't going to cut it. In 2005, after her youngest child went off to Kindergarten, she decided to truly put this plan into action and entered a nearby martial arts studio. Since then, she's earned her black belt in Kenpo Karate. Something incredibly impressive about Whitney is her ability and determination to persevere through nearly anything. She broke two of her ribs in the middle of her 8-hour black belt exam — and yet, she continued on and finished! In this episode, Whitney speaks about her start in martial arts, what her first class was like, her journey to getting her black belt in Kenpo, and her stint in teaching Kenpo and her own, unique style. She also shares her wisdom on perseverance, the importance of asking questions and considering the ‘why' during training, and her advice for those who are nervous — but interested — in pursuing a martial art. Key Takeaways: [1:06] About this week's guest, Whitney. [2:06] Welcoming Whitney to the podcast. [2:29] When and why Whitney got started in the martial arts.

We can induce creativity, innovation and genius from our minds. "We are a vast magma of instincts and emotions with a thin veneer of civilization on top." -Olivia Fox Cabane The Cheat Sheet: What is a metaphorical insight and how can you use it? The Thin Air Myth: what is it and why is it a myth? What James Watt and Phineas Gage have taught us about the brain. This is one of the biggest blocks to your genius ideas: what is it? What high performance athletes do differently than other athletes. And so much more... Have you ever had a eureka moment? A split second flash of genius? Whether you have or not, there's now a way to create that experience on demand. And here to tell us more is Olivia Fox Cabane. Olivia is the author of The Charisma Myth and joins us to discuss the fascinating science of creativity and genius on today's show.

More About This Show: Olivia Fox Cabane is known as an expert on behavioral science, and applying it to everyday life to become more productive, more effective and create more breakthroughs. Currently she is the Director of Innovation at Stanford's StartX program and has two additional books about to be published. On today's show we discuss why breakthroughs are not accidental, what we've learned about the neuroscience behind epiphanies as well as ways you can realize more of your mind's insights and genius ideas. One of the most fascinating topics we dive is the different modes of the brain. The default mode network is your brain's network composed of 10-13 different areas that are responsible for the creative, innovation and genius. Another mode your brain has is executive mode. Executive mode is just what it sounds like: that part of your brain that makes decisions, executes and puts plans into actions. But here's the kicker: only one part of your brain can be in charge at a time. So if your executive mode is always on your default mode network (or DMN) cannot be running the show. That means if you are constantly engaging your decision-making mind and are in executive mode, your genius ideas have no way to come through. Turning off executive mode is simple: do repetitive tasks that are basically mindless. Like showering or washing the dishes or driving: these are things you already do the executive mode of your brain doesn't need to be engaged in for you to complete them. And that means your DMN can kick in. You can do what high caliber professional athletes do and create little rituals to tell your brain it's time to ramp up or ramp down. Think of baseball players and their rituals: some brush off their shoes in the batter's box and then tap home plate between pitches. They are telling their brains to power on into high performance mode, and slow down. On this episode Olivia and I also discuss the roles uncertainty and shame play in our creative capacities, what we can do to overcome our innate fear of both and why choice minimal lifestyle can be so liberating and freeing for our DMN!
