Ask HN: How to develop a charming personality for executive roles?
2 comments
In my experience, one of the biggest things that people can do to become more "charming" (though they shouldn't be doing so strictly for that reason), is to develop more genuine empathy for others. That and listening skills. Many people say they are good listeners, but in reality most people are simply waiting for the next turn to talk. It takes practice and empathy to be a good listener.

While faking it till making it can go only so far, what are ways to genuinely develop a charming personalities? Thinking from first principles point of view, are there any trainings, videos, lectures I can watch to develop the charm? Please share if you know any.
