Every now and then, I bumped into people with high caliber personality. They are determined, know what they want in life, and follow through to execute and get it. Often times, these are the same people who are charming and charismatic and possess the characteristic of upright integrity and leadership skills (or the potential to become one). Furthermore, they make us feel at one’s comfort zone within minutes of interacting with them as if we’re talking to one of our long-lasting childhood friend. The connection is quickly formed and the conversation can be deep and stimulating.
From my observation, this is achievable because these individuals are very “open in communications” and able to “share things or information” that for most people would find sensitive or private. Of course, going into specific details might in fact be harmful as privacy continues to be more and more transparent in society at large today (with the acceleration of technology such as web cameras and usb voice recorders). However, revealing information while stating in general terms allow the listener to gain insights, learn from it, and apply it in their own lives.
Core personal traits such as integrity, trustworthy, motivation, leadership, charm, charisma are rare to find. However, I believe one very good way these values can be expressed starts with open communications.
