I used to think like this. I used to break down everything into its
smallest pieces to try to explain why something happened. In this video,
a guy breaks down all of Bill Clinton's facial movements to show that
this is what creates a charismatic speech. However, all those things
have nothing to do with Clinton's charisma. Clinton's charisma has to do
with the fact that he heard this woman's question and responded to her
genuinely as though he really cared about not only givin
g
her an answer, but about her actual concerns and her actual humanity.
It's because for that moment, he really cared. He made her question his
concern and responded from his own experience. There are no techniques
for expressing true concern. There is no amount of narrow staring or
furrowed brow that will communicate real love when there is none.
I had a hard time working when I hated everybody and everything. I
still hate most people and most things, but I love my work, I love my
collaborators, and I love my audience. This subtle yet profound shift
has changed the way I view work and has enabled me to be functional and
charismatic without going through all these ridiculous steps. I am
present, I am with you, and I love what I do.
