comes to shove knowing your way around relating with people and being

Travel shares 5 habits of charismatic people.
They Listen More Than They Speak
When charismatic people relate with others, they make them feel heard.
Many people like to talk with and relate with them because of how
actively they seem to listen and give useful feedback; and the fact is
that people tend to like and remember good listeners positively.
They’re Genuine People
Or at least they are very good at seeming genuine and this is what draws
people to them. People typically like those they perceive to be genuine
and humble, and charismatic people have that going for them. They are
perceived to be genuine and most of them actually are. A charismatic
person’s genuineness coupled with a kind personality will gagner instant
like from others.
They Stand Up Tall
Charismatic people have a certain ‘swag’. They stand up tall and have an
appealing mien. Their gait and mannerisms are smart, and there
something inherently attractive about their carriage that draws people
to them. They of course have a good posture, whether sitting, standing
or walking, and that makes them appear more secure and confident. This
is another characteristic that people admire in them, which makes them
likeable.
They Build Confidence in Others
When people spend time around a charismatic person, they feel better
about themselves, or they at least come away feeling inspired or
motivated in some sort of way. This makes charismatic people likeable
and makes many people want to be around them. The fact is charismatic
people tend to build confidence in others by giving credits and
complements where they are due to make others feel important, and also
by constructively critiquing those whose actions need to be reformed.
When dealing with others, charismatic people mainly focus on the
importance of this saying, “It’s not what you say, but how you say it?”
Remember Names
Charismatic people go to far lengths to either know the name or find a
system of remembering the name of others around them. Like Dale Carnegie
said, ‘a person’s name is to him or her the sweetest and most important
sound in any language’, and charismatic people understand this fact
very well. It’s why they are sure to put effort into finding a way to
remember the names of those around them. In the event, they actually
forget the name of a person they are very polite about how they go about
asking for it again and will hardly forget it a second time.
