Season 3 Episode 8

Some people command a room without saying a word.

They’re not loud. They’re not flashy. But somehow… all eyes go to them.

What if that kind of presence wasn’t just a lucky trait—but a learnable skill?

In this unforgettable episode, I sit down with Richard Reid — behavioural psychologist, charisma coach, and author of Charisma Unlocked — to explore the psychology behind magnetic presence, quiet influence, and authentic confidence.

We unpack:

  • Why charisma is not about charm or performance
  • How shy, introverted people can become unforgettable
  • The science behind influence, trust, and connection
  • The tiny cues that shape how people see you
  • And how to stop feeling invisible in any room, conversation, or stage

Richard has coached leaders, founders, and professionals across the globe — and in this conversation, he’ll show you exactly how charisma is built from the inside out.

✨ Whether you're building a brand, leading a team, or just tired of being overlooked — this episode will flip the script on how you show up in the world.
