Srini:

As usual, this is an excellent post, and I would also like to compliment you on your blog, the Skool of Life. You inspire me.

However, I beg to differ on one point: you already have natural charisma. You just need to look inward and let if flow, and it will pour forth with the power of a Niagara Falls.

And if you are looking to learn more about “charisma,” there is a lot of literature out there on leadership. For example, many times we have been told that “charismatic leaders” just seem to have an aura about them and they are able to mobilize crowds.

These days, MBA programs seem to be salivating over “leadership studies” because you also need “charisma” to run a multi-national corporation as a head honcho or CEO. However, charisma is not just limited to politics (Mahatma Gandhi) or running a business (Bill Gates). My grandmother had more charisma than I can even dream of, and she was unschooled and a stay-at-home parent.

My recommendations? Well, the usual suspects, really: Wayne Dyer, Napolean Hill, Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Dale Carnegie, Stephen Covey. And be sure to read “Psychology Today.”

Like the picture, I think my mind maps would start with “cake” in the middle. I love cake. I recently read a book titled “What color is your parachute.” It has an excellent mind map activity for finding a career that is a good fit for everything you like. I didn’t actually try it, but it looked really good.

@Wilson, good to see you here at Lifescape Artists. The mind map process is something I use in so many different areas. Right now I’m tasked with brainstorming ideas for my new job and I’m using a mindmap to do it.

its funny I just read about not mind maps but something like it…and I just started applying it to my daily task and it really helps me keep track my progress and really guide me like a map does with directions its like a map for life.

@Jessi,

I’m glad to help in any way I can, except with the physical labor involved in your move . I just moved and I think I’m done with moving for a while.

Mindmapping is one of those processes that I have heard of, thought it was interesting but never got around to actually doing – which is sad because I definitely have a whiteboard that I do use frequently but it has a lot of static things on it.

I’m gearing up for a big move in the next 5 months and now would be the perfect time to do this – so thank you for giving me another virtual “push” to do it
