Everyone knows someone they would describe as “charismatic”. They always
make a strong and lasting first impression, have an air of confidence and a true presence.
They build good rapport with people, make an impact and are remembered. How do they do
this? Is there something they know or do differently to the rest of us? What makes them
this way?
People aren’t born with charisma, it is a learned skill. The Charisma
Effect helps you to develop your interpersonal skills so you too can make an impact
immediately.
Drawing lessons from a successful and long-running two-day personal development
programme, this is a tried, tested and trusted formula that reveals everything you need to
be charismatic.
Andrew Leigh has worked as a senior manager for extended periods in

categories around the world, including 20 ways to Manage Better, (which has been in print
