When you're comfortable with yourself you can focus more on those around you, listen better, and be more attentive. When you're uncomfortable with yourself, you spend your time fidgeting, worrying that you look right and are so distracted so you've got nothing left to give the other person.

For a moment, I actually thought of putting "Believe in yourself" as a separate point. But I decided to keep it as "3 ways" for aesthetic reasons :p. But yeah, confidence is definitely another very important part of charisma. @Anonymous: Thanks for pointing out the typo, I completely missed that! As for elaborating... it really comes down to being honestly interested in others. Effective listening comes from that, when you stop being obsessed with yourself, and start really listening to others. I'm not too sure what you mean by repetition (rapport maybe?). And as for compliments - using them as a gimmick just reeks of technique, and that will only make you seem fake and needy, not charismatic. Simply say compliments if you really mean them. There's not much more I can say about that :) @PP:

Nice article, but I think it is lacking, especially in the third tip, which IMO, should elaborate on effective listening skills, repetition and compliments.
