Charisma

In an age where digitalization is increasingly taking center stage in daily communication, personal presence is becoming more important than ever. This is because content and information are largely exchanged beforehand. In a personal conversation, a meeting, or a presentation, it is no longer primarily about the "what," but increasingly about the "how." How do I share the content and information? Am I authentic and expressive in doing so? In this guide, author Bert Udo Koch offers suggestions for impactful presence and approaches the fascinating and extraordinary topic of "charisma." Many exercises from his extensive experience as an actor and as a lecturer in rhetoric and nonverbal communication help individuals develop, enhance, and illuminate their personal charisma. Furthermore, Bert Udo Koch has consulted people from various professions and asked for their ideas on describing "charisma." Their insights provide valuable enrichment, as each person naturally emphasizes different aspects, thereby complementing the spectrum. The exploration of the topic "charisma" is particularly successful through numerous interviews with entrepreneur and business journalist Karl Pilsl. He compellingly explains which lived Christian values are important for being perceived as a charismatic leader.
