Original Advice
“Charisma isn’t the same as smarts: Being loved doesn’t mean you’re informed. Your presence can open doors, but preparation keeps them open. If you coast on charm, people notice.”
Applause Fades; Facts Endure
People adore your entrance and forget your exits when you wing it. Charisma buys silence, not respect. The room warms for you; it does not research for you. Walk in unprepared and your glow throws longer shadows. Attention is not proof. Laughter is not data. You can be loved and still be wrong. Stop assuming applause equals comprehension.
Presence opens doors because people crave heat. Preparation keeps them open because reality keeps score. Data steadies charisma. Notes disarm doubt. When you bring specifics, rooms relax; when you bluff, they archive your tells. Influence without homework is fireworks in daylight: loud, forgotten, smoky. Choose durable authority. Read the document. Name the source. Ask one precise question and listen to the answer.
