Audio/Video Script:

Dr. Joe Waldrum
Professor - LeadAR Program

[Title Slide – How to Build Charisma; Dr. Joe Waldrum - LeadAR, U of A Division of Agriculture. Drawing of a man dressed in a suit with a big smile.]

[Dr. Joe Waldrum] Charisma is a trait found in people whose personalities use personal charm and magnetism, rather than just speech or logic alone, to communicate effectively.

[Picture of a smiling business man shaking hands with another man] If you want to become more charismatic, you should:

1. Act with credibility.

Those who are inconsistent in their behavior repel people while those who are consistent in their behavior draw people to them. [Picture of a man conducting a staff meeting] Want to be influential? Demonstrate integrity.

2. Extend respect.

[Picture of three business people talking] A few interpersonal skills that make a big difference to a respectful atmosphere include not interrupting conversations, asking if the person has time to talk, and listening to ideas. [Picture of a woman shaking hands with another person.]

3. Deliver sincere compliments.

[Picture of a group of business people. One woman extending her hand to shake.] People care what you think about them. They appreciate your mentioning their good work. [Picture of a man and woman talking at a desk.] When you do recognize them, be specific in your compliments.

4. Accept sincere compliments.

[Picture of a man smiling sitting at a desk with his hands folded behind his head.] Deflecting a compliment often draws unwanted attention and belittles both you and the person offering the compliment. Just say, "Thank you." You'll be pleased with how gracious you become.

5. State what you are FOR, not AGAINST.

[Picture of a two business people looking at paperwork.] When you are against something, the person thinks you are against them personally. People are less likely to cooperate when they think you are against them. [Picture of two shaking hands.] When you are for something, you begin focusing on the potential for positive change through positive collaborations.
