The Charisma Factor’s synopsis is as
follows:
Charisma
is an unseen but powerful force that has many different facets. Charisma is a
special and compelling spark that makes you unique, and sets you apart from the
rest of the crowd, and it is something all people possess–whether they are
aware of it or not. Devoting a little time to connecting with our inner selves,
learning what makes us truly special, and incorporating this magnetic quality
into our personality can have untold benefits on our lives. The Charisma
Factor is the ultimate handbook that unlocks the mysterious formula for
charm and influence. Whether you’re someone who lives in the spotlight, or
you’re a college graduate just starting out on a career, this book will improve
the way you communicate and interact with others. Packed with useful lessons
and Leesa’s personal tips, The Charisma Factor will be your go-to
instruction manual to embrace your individuality, discover your authenticity
and empower yourself like never before.
Author Rowland explains this was the “best time” to come out with the book. “I think it’s especially important now and when we’re coming out of the pandemic. I want to help people become the best that they can be. One of the chapters that’s a really strong chapter is about different charismatic personalities, the traits that they have, and their magnetism. It’s like a behavior study really,” Rowland says.
