You know when you meet charismatic and compelling people. They
exude a personal power thats hard to miss. You can feel their
presence as they enter a room and both male and female heads
turn. For some, this magnetism is as natural as organic food
whilst for others it can be developed over time.
Sitting here today in sunny Queensland Australia, Im reflecting
on what makes one person more attractive than another. Not just
by physical attraction, but what makes them captivating. Ive
met absolutely gorgeous guys and girls that after spending five
minutes with them, Im already trying to find my escape route.
An occasion I remember as clearly as if it were yesterday,
happened about 25 years ago. A friend of mine invited my family
to visit him at a television station he worked at in Sydney. Of
course we jumped at the chance! Its not every day you got such
an opportunity!
We were met at the gate and were led down a corridor on the way
to a sound stage. As I was passing by a room with an open door,
I noticed blonde haired lady was having her hair done. It was
Pamela Stephenson (Dr Pamela Connolly), wife of Billy Connolly.
Our eyes met and she smiled at me. Her smile radiated the most
amazing brilliant light which extended into and filled the
entire dressing room! It was as if I was in the presence of an
angel! Although I havent followed her life, I vividly remember
that it quality about her.
Jennifer Hawkins has the it quality as well. When she smiles
she absolutely radiates with light. I have yet to speak with any
woman who feels threatened by her or has said anything nasty
about her.
John Travolta is another who is extremely charismatic and has
the it factor.
For me personally, Im attracted to people who are confident,
kind, humorous, smart and at peace with themselves.
So how can you get some of whatever it is?
1. Peaceful individuals those standing in their personal
power - are relaxing to be around, so if youre not peaceful,

involves stilling the mind. Once you know how, apply it across
all parts of your life. Tap into peace whenever you need and
want.
2. Self-confidence is a huge attractor. Start moving out of your
comfort zone by taking baby steps first. Increase the size of
your steps as you become more familiar with what it is youre
doing. I started to manage my website several months ago and
this was very scary in the beginning. As I gradually became more
adept my confidence in my ability grew and continues to do so.
3. Self-love follows closely behind the self-confidence. When
you have love of self like a ripple on a pond it will permeate
across all time and space.
4. Positive people inspire and motivate me. However, before you
go ahead and start a huge positive talk fest with anyone and
everyone, check out the mood of others around you. Theres
nothing worse than listening to someone talking to you about
fabulously positive and great things if youre walking the dark
night of the soul. Meet (or match) others where theyre at
first, then gradually build up the positive talk and watch the
relationship unfold.
5. More on matching body gesturesmove in unison with people,
breath using their rhythm, always subtly and always with
respect.
6. This is one point I always mention because of its importance.
Be in the present moment. When you start a conversation with
someone or they with you, be attentive, curious and interested
in what theyre saying. If youre matching their facial
expressions remember to stop smiling and nodding when theyre
talking about something they find very distressing (unless you
have a close relationship with them).
7. Start reading newspapers, magazines, books (fiction and
non-fiction). Then you will always have something to talk about.
Find out what others are talking about.
8. Share some of yourself with others not too much at the
beginning of new relationships, and never reveal your entire
life history in your first conversation!
9. Smile! A sincere smile is when it reaches your eyes.
10. Use your sense of humour, just make sure its at an
appropriate time and place. I once opened a speaking engagement
with a funny story - all I heard were crickets! My next words
were moving right along now.
This list isnt exhaustive, theres more you can do but if you
start practicing the above, youre on you way to having some
it too!
