Some people have the ability to enter a room and draw instant attention, effortlessly exuding charm, radiating energy and a commanding presence. That enviable quality is called charisma--and those who have it are better able to influence what gets done and ultimately achieve what they want.

Filled with practical, powerful tools, exercises, and assessments, The Laws of Charisma explores the vital skills and traits anyone can use to earn trust, generate interest, and motivate others.
Charisma is the key that will unlock the door to improved relationships, greater income and enhanced success in every area of life. The Laws of Charisma is all anyone needs to bring out the charismatic person within.
