How Charisma Helps You Affect Change As an Optometrist And Improve Patient’s Care

Charisma is essential in the business world as it can be among the salient characteristics that make a leader successful and influential to influence others and initiate change. Charismatic Optometrists are noticeable and we attribute a big part of their success in dealing with patients, staff members, suppliers, and companies to their ability to charismatically leave an impression in every minute from entering their practice to greeting people and meeting representatives and closing deals. We often see charismatic leaders as humans with wings that can almost let them fly and achieve heights that we wouldn’t even think possible. For many being charismatic is something we are born with and we cannot acquire or learn in any way.

In our practices being charismatic inspires our employees and staff members and facilitates coordination and collaboration enabling a seamless experience of working together in the workplace. Charismatic Optometrists appeal to their patients, friends, and families to be able to provide trust and be able to service them, solve their visual problems, and effectively meet their needs.

Charlie Houpert, author of Charisma On Command: Inspire, Impress, and Energize Everyone You Meet, asserts that, unlike sprouting wings, charisma can be built like any muscle. If you get yourself with the right routine and the right perseverance you can become charismatic and affect change at different levels. “Charisma can be trained. Just like a spike in adrenaline can lead to superhuman feats of strength, the right neurological mix can activate your charismatic potential.”

To Charlie, the building blocks of charisma constitute Conviction + Energy + Presentation. He emphasizes the importance of building convictions as the first step in developing charisma. In the book, he identifies and explains 12 charismatic convictions, among them:

“I care more about my character than the opinions of others”;

“I have impeccable integrity”;

“Charismatic people communicate their purpose”;

“The charismatic person dares to go there first”.

After reading Charlie’s charismatic convictions you can conclude that the charismatic person is attractive because he is whole, does not deny any aspect of himself, never has to shy from the truth, lives with integrity, does what amuses him, and say what he thinks without waiting for others permission, being afraid of the consequences, or seeking validation.
