What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab, and every person you meet, a chance to experiment.

Charisma ist keine naturgegebene Eigenschaft, die man hat oder eben nicht. Charisma kann man sich aber aneignen - und man kann damit sein Leben von Grund auf verändern.

Seit über zehn Jahren hat sie Methoden aus der Verhaltensforschung analysiert und für ihr Coaching getestet.
