Do you have “it”? Do you have a personal magnetism that seems to draw people to you, and more importantly, allows you to be a person of influence in their lives?  Do you find that people want to follow you?

Even if we don’t think that of ourselves, we have likely witnessed this gravitas in others. Their ability to relate and influence seems almost magical, as it appears to be so effortless. They have “it”. They have Charisma.

The truth is that you do have “it”. Charisma is one of the least talked about traits in personal and leadership development because it appears to be so enigmatic. In this session, Derek will relate a lifetime of experience and research as a leader, an entrepreneur, a business owner, a film-maker and an entertainer to unpack the nature of Charisma. He will explain that Charisma is a talent, and that we have all been born with a measure of this talent. While there may be those in this world that have been blessed with natural ability in this area, all of our charismatic talent can and should be developed to the fullest extent.  This is especially relevant for those in leadership. Charisma is a force that can make your leadership influence exponentially more effective.

You have “it”. And you can develop “it” to become an even better leader than you are already.

The keys to developing your Charismatic potential are simple, and it is being intentional about exploring and developing what makes you charismatic that will allow you to rise in influence.

In this session you will:

• Develop a working definition of Charisma, and understand how it is a talent
• Come to understand that you have “it”, and you can develop “it”
• Learn where Charisma lies in the leadership paradigm. (You can’t lead on Charisma alone!)
• Learn the three keys essential to unlocking any charismatic action or ability
• Learn five characteristics present in those with developed Charismatic talents, and be offered practical suggestions on how to develop these characteristics for yourself

In Captivate, Derek Selinger transports audiences to another dimension with this unparalleled, unbelievable and mind blowing fast-paced illusion stage show experience. Captivate the imagination of your audience with Las Vegas-style illusions and leave them gasping for breath as they exclaim together “How is that possible? How did he do that?!”

Corporate culture has invested billions in becoming more efficient and streamlined. It divvies up any extra profit to lure and keep top talent, while fighting the good fight against low employee engagement, a tough economy, and a steady stream of technological changes.

So, what matters to the people actually doing YOUR business right now? What kinds of ideas will spark their enthusiasm for their work in such a way that it burns brightly enough to increase their current performance and engagement, AND can also grow into an all-consuming passion they can nurture over the lifetime of their careers?

Fortune Magazine’s “Best 100 Companies to Work For” article shows over-and-over again how companies lose talent, engagement and ground, when they that allow their employees to feel as replaceable as parts in a machine that can simply be unscrewed and swapped out whenever the notion strikes senior management.

This pattern of thought, which Derek Selinger calls the “assembly line mentality”, is as archaic as the industrial revolution, yet it is still pervasive in corporate culture today!

Derek exposes how ineffective the assembly line mentality has become and establishes that every single person in your organization has an opportunity – and an obligation – to shine in the workplace. He does this by teaching his audience “The Spotlight Mentality”: how to use position and perception to create their very own peak performance in work and in life.

The magic happens as this idea of being in the spotlight every time they work the magic you hired them to perform captures the imagination of each member of your team, taking hold to drive them on to be better participants in their work, their community and their lives… because as they engage their talent and passions, they unlock their potential of achieving better results than ever before!
