Many people that want to be a leader just learn the leadership and entrepreneurship factor, but don't know anything about charisma. In fact, charisma is one of the most important thing required to be a good leader, what is charisma? Charisma is a manner of a person that radiates positive energy to their surrounding so people will like and admire them, but still assertive and intimidating. Charisma frequently related to be a gentleman's manner, yes, charisma is not just for leaders, a gentleman should have charisma too.

Eye contact has to be applied to everybody without holding your back, if you face an intimidating person, bigger or older than you, don't be afraid! Eye contact will declare your bravery and maturity. You also need eye contact with your female interlocutor, men oftenly turn away when talking with women, unfortunately for those kind of guys, women consider a man that talks with eye contact is an alpha male and not a coward.

2. Keep your emotions low

Everybody know that anger is not a charismatic manners, instead, anger would give you a childish image. If you feel annoyed in an argument, angry, maintain your rage, don't let anger control yourself, harsh words will not make you win, instead, increase the quality of your argument, use formal, mature words and go deep into the problem so your opponent will be intimidated, if your opponent show their rage, you're already won. But in charisma context, anger is not the only emotion that you have to keep low, other emotions either, like excitement, or sorrow. A person that showing too much emotion look so childish, so? Control your emotion.

3. Skill mastery

Master some skills that will be usefull for you. For clear information about skill mastery, you can read it in our other article.

4. Clothes

First impression is everything, first impression not begin with your handshake nor your first words, but from your clothes, with nice clothing, the chance of a person would want to know you is bigger. a person that respect his/herself is always dressed well. You can't go to party with inappropriate clothes, people will not consider you as a charismatic person, instead people will not paying any attention to you. Respect yourself with appropriate clothing, not too excesive but neither inapropriate.

5. Ego

Final step you have to conquer in improving your charisma, and also the hardest step. You have to control your ego, a "boss" likes to tell stories about him/her to make themselves look good, even if they have to make other people look bad. But a charismatic "leader" will share stories with you, work with you and will not make yourself look bad but instead he/she will praise you. Sounds noble right? Being intimidating and charismatic are not gained by vilifying others, but with positive manners that make people want to be like you

Tips for choosing and selecting the right job

Working is one of the human's main task that we have to do to make a living, where the average humans work from 20 year old to 55 year old. Nobody want to risk that time for nothing just because we don't like our job or our job doesn't pay anything. Synergy and balance in passion, skills, financial and mission are required in selecting and doing your dream job. This article will give you a little vision about selecting your dream job based on the consideration of your passion, skills, financial and mission.

1.Passion

Passion is the most important thing in choosing a job, you absolutely don't want to work a job that you don't like for years and years that you will regret in the old days. It's just as same as wasting your time. Select a job based from your passion that you love and you've been doing for years. A job based from passion more likely to make you happy, more productive and effective in doing the job, so your career path will tend to be going up instead of going down.

2.Financial

The main reason why is a human need a job, to be paid! The more money we make, the better it gets right!? Of course! It must be. Maybe.... Umm, actually not really. As we explained in the beginning of this article, you have to balance the factors in job selecting, you don't pick a job just because the financial factor. Don't do job that pays well but make you suffer. A job that pays well is not always a good job, but a good job is always pasys well even not from the financial perspective.

3.Skills

You have a job that you love and pays well? Geat! But the question is, are you good enough for that job? Do you have a skill mastery on that job? Do you eager to study more and more to improve your skill related to your job? If you don't, forget it! You have to consider your skill too in doing business or work. If you don't have the skill to do your job and you never want to learn, you will never go big, you will never be a leader. A good job is always a job that you master and eager to learn to improve your skill.

4. Mission

Mission is the social and humanity factor in selecting a job, where your responsibility for others is questioned. Do your job will make the world a better place? Or make it worse? This factor won't affect your financial neither your passion, but a job that chosen based on this factor will give you the life satisfacation and you will regret nothing. But a job that chosen not on mission factor could give you guilt that will haunt you for the rest of your life.


So, pick a job based on deep an specific consideration from the factors above. Don't pick a job you don't like, doesn't give you enough money, a job that you're not good at, nor a job that would harm the world.

skill mastery: Improving leadership skill and confidence

In a good working and business environment, confidence and leadership are the two most important aspect required. This two characters that related one to another can be improved by many ways such as training, reading and skill mastery. In this very first article of LEADERS CHANNEL, we are going to discuss about how to improve your leadership and confidence through skill mastery.

In developing your confidence and leadership, skill mastery is a highly required aspect. Skill mastery itself is a deep and specific mastery of some fields for a particular purpose. Not just skills about work, general knowledge and business, skill mastery also a mastery of some non-academic fields that related to hobby and passion such as arts, sports, games, etc. What are the benefits of having skill mastery?

1. Self confidence

Skill mastery can improve your confidence in a huge scale, for example, when you talking to other person about a topic, especially when you have a deep knowledge about your topic, you don't have to feel inferior because you know nothing, instead you will feel more dominant and feel like you're the smartest person in the room because of your knowledge that above others. In a business negotiation, if you master your materials and have skill mastery about your field that being offered, you will feel more comfortable and confident and you can get a positive result in your business negotiation. Nobody will believe you if you even don't believe yourself right?

2. Respect and value

Your vast knowledge will make people more likely to believe in you and respect you, trust me, humans do not value another person that says "i don't know" all the time. If you have a great knowledge about a field, people would love to hear your opinion and assume that you are a person that deserve to be a leader. For example, when you have some academic skills, generally people will think that you are a "smart" in school. And society needs a smart person to be their role model in education, work, and business. They will tend to ask you more for solutions opinions as a "specialist", if you provide nice answers, the feedback you'll get is respect.

3.Relationship

Your relation will grow along with your skill improvement, let's just take an example, in music (art), the higher is your skill, the more people will be interested in you and will try to know you in some defferent purposes, maybe want to colaborate with you, maybe want to be taught by you, or maybe just eager to have a relation with "cool" people like you. In a business and work perspective, skill mastery surely will increase your credibility which is good for your career path. If you are an accountant, accounting is your job, but if you have some skills at management, marketing, human resources management, etc. Your career path is tend to be going up and you will more likely to be promoted.

How to improve your skill mastery? Actually it's kinda hard to be explained, because skill mastery is a mastery of your passion that only you the person know how to improve your skill. But we have some tips that hopefully improve your skill mastery in an effective way.

1. Learn without shame
You don't need to feel stupid if you have less skill, nothing instant, it's better to be humiliated but you'll learn something from it than don't know anything for the rest of your life. Asking is a good thing to do if you want to improve your skills.

2. Learn from many resources
Reference is an important thing, you have to make sure that the things you have studied are true. Feeling confidence in a wrong belief is worse than not knowing anything.

3. Don't stop learning
No need to be explained, your passion should lead you to master your skills. If you have another important thing to do, you still have to take some time to do your passion and improve it.

If you don't have any skill, we suggest you to not feel inferior, skill is not a thing that obtained since childhood. Skill is a thing that you have to improve from 0 and came from a passion and talent. We believe that there is no human being without a single passion in their life. Improve your talent until you reach your maximum level.
