The 3 areas in which you’ll experience rapid gains to your charisma are:
1. Presence
2. Emotional Expressiveness
3. Confidence.
After that is 4:
Language expressiveness
For 1, depending on your learning style, I would look at “Practicing the Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle.
For 2, again depending on your learning style, there’s a great out of print book Ronald Riggio called the “Charisma Quotient” that has a number of exercises for improving emotional expressiveness. Impro by Keith Johnstone is also a great resource.
For 3, I mostly recommend internal work (check out my sequence on here on Memory Reconsolidation), going to a Toastmasters regularly will also help with this.
For 4, Look into the work of John Antonokis et al. specifically their list of “Charismatic Leadership Tactics” and accompanying exercises to practice them.
Note that none of these are about listening/social calibration/etc, that’s another skill set that’s important for social skills but not as much for straight up charisma.
