Welcome to Amy Alkon's HumanLab: The Science Between Us, interviewing the luminaries of behavioral science.

My guest is Fortune 500 executive coach and charisma expert Olivia Fox Cabane.

Cabane lays out, per research on leadership, why the personal magnetism we call charisma isn’t something people are just born with but something we can all acquire and perfect with knowledge and practice. Even people who aren’t extraverts.

Her book we're discussing is The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism.
