  Charisma Isn't a Trait - It's a Muscle | The Skill of Charisma | Olivia Fox Cabane, Author of The Charisma Myth

  Jul 23, 202627 minS2

  Some people are just born charismatic. That's what we tell ourselves. But charisma isn't a trait you're born with. It's a muscle and most of us have never deliberately trained it. In this episode of Get Superpowered, I sat down with Olivia Fox Cabane to unpack charisma as a skill. Olivia Fox Cabane is a Fortune 500 executive coach and author of The Charisma Myth who has lectured at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and the United Nations. In this conversation, Olivia walks you through the three components that make up charisma - presence, power, and warmth - and how to build each one so it's there when you need it. You will learn three practical 'try-today' moves: 1. Stop trying to impress. Let them impress you. That single mindset shift is enough to get people to like you, trust you, and want to follow you. Before your next important conversation, make this your goal: find out what impresses you about the other person. 2. Project power through body language. We read power in body language. Roll your shoulders back. Plant your feet. Take up space. Then be still, no fussing with your hair and clothes. Move slowly. When you appear confident, people assume you have a reason to be. 3. Nurture self-compassion. Self-criticism reduces power, warmth, and presence. Next time your inner critic speaks, pause. Name what you're feeling and acknowledge that what you're experiencing is difficult. That’s self-compassion. Charisma begins in your mind. Whatever your mind believes,your body will manifest. This is where you start. Want to learn more about Olivia Fox Cabane's work?

  What You Think Is Listening - Isn't | The Skill of Listening | Richard Mullender, Former Hostage Negotiator

  Jul 9, 202626 minS2

  If someone asked you to teach them to listen - what would you actually say? Eye contact? Nodding? Repeating back what you heard? That's the answer most people give. And none of it is listening. In this episode of Get Superpowered, I sat down with Richard Mullender to unpack listening as a skill. Richard Mullender is a former hostage negotiator and lead trainer at Scotland Yard’s National Hostage Negotiation and Crisis Unit. He has distilled hundreds of high-stakes negotiations into elite-level listening techniques that work in any conversation, in any room, at any level. In this conversation, Richard walks you through how real listening - the identification, selection, and interpretation of keywords - turns information into intelligence, and how to use what you hear to understand, influence, and connect with anyone. You will learn three practical ‘try-today’ moves: 1. Set your outcome. Before any conversation that matters, decide: what am I trying to achieve? That outcome becomes your anchor. When your mind drifts - and it will - it's what brings you back. 2. Listen for the six data points: Facts. Emotions. Motivators. Values. Beliefs. Benefits. Most people stop at facts and emotions. The intelligence lives underneath - in why this person is talking to you today, what they stand for, their deeply held convictions, and where they see their win. 3. Sense-check with ‘I get the impression.’ Feedback what you heard as an impression, not a verdict. If you're right, trust deepens. If you're wrong, they correct you. Either way, you understand them better. Listening is not a talent you're born with. It is a craft - built in the constant pursuit of excellence. You just keep getting better. And this is where you start. Want to learn more about Richard Mullender's work? Check out The Listening Institute https://listeninginstitute.com/

  Hope is not a feeling. It's a practice | The Skill of Hope | Gidon Lev & Julie Gray, Authors of Let's Make Things Better

  Jun 18, 202638 minS2

  Hope is not something you feel. It is something you do. In this episode of Get Superpowered, I sat down with Gidon Lev and Julie Gray to unpack hope as a skill. Gidon Lev survived Theresienstadt concentration camp as achild, built a full life across nine decades, and is still facing forward at 91. Julie Gray is the writer who helped Gidon bring the message of hope to the world - in their book Let's Make Things Better. In this conversation, Gidon and Julie walk you through whathope actually is and what it isn't, how to maintain hope when circumstances argue against it, and how hope follows actions, even the smallest ones. You will learn three practical ‘try-today’ moves: 1. Take one action, however tiny. When hope is low, don't wait for it to return before acting. Take the 50-meter walk. Make the lemon cake. Action creates evidence. Evidence builds hope. That is the flywheel. 2. Give yourself credit for what you have already overcome. Look back at three challenges you have already navigated. For each one, ask: how did I do that? The proof you need to go forwards is already behind you. 3. Give yourself permission to imagine things going well. Notice how often you allow yourself to imagine things going wrong. Now deliberately choose the opposite. You cannot hope for what you cannot imagine. Hope is not a feeling. It is the smallest possible yes. And it is available to you right now. Want to learn more about Gidon Lev and Julie Gray's work?
