Have you ever heard someone introduce themself or read someone’s self introduction brief and you go, wow! such charisma? Well, they’ve learnt to introduce themselves to anyone in a charismatic way. They’ve learnt how to craft a compelling personal bio that leaves a lasting impression.
In this blog post, I revealed simple steps to help you achieve that. I’ve taught over 250 individuals on how to craft a compelling personal bio, and I can help you too!
What it means to be charismatic
First thing you need to know is, when introducing yourself, it needs to catch the attention of your receiver, and get him or her to be committed to you. To introduce yourself in a charismatic way is to understand who you are, why you are here and be confident in it.
You need to be confident in who you are and believe that you do not need any extras to make you special. You are the spice, the sauce, the unique selling point.
Interest
Second thing is to identify your interest.
What excites you? What makes you intrigued? What do you find fascinating? What do you learn about consistently without getting bored? Write them (it) down.
Education
What do you constantly learn about? What did you study or are you studying in school? What knowledge or skill set are you constantly improving on? It’s beyond your university degree.
Expertise
What are you experienced in? It could be a formal employment, volunteering service, charity etc. For example, you’re a practicing doctor, who plays keyboard in church. This means, you’re experienced in medicine, and playing the keyboard, hence you have an understanding of sounds etc.
Exposure
What are you exposed to consistently? What are the connecting factors between what you watch or read on? What fills up your Instagram feed/what do people constantly talk to about?
Experience
What have you experienced that has framed your mindset or made you into who you are?
Did you grow up seeing women bullied, so you decided to not be a weakling and help other women find their voice?
Did you suffer from low self esteem?
Did you grow up living with your parents and have pleasant experiences, so you have a great opinion of marriage?
Sit, think and find out what your every experience you’ve had so far, negatively or positively, that left a great impact on you.

How do I merge everything?
If you look closely, you’ll realize that there’s a link. This is possible because the connecting factor is you. You’re the constant in everything, so there would always be a link.
The linking factor between everything is emotional wellness, marketing communication and spirituality.
What can you identify
Marketing communications is the act of honestly identifying why people need what you have and why they should get it. Marketing isn’t about telling a lie, but telling the truth.
Emotional wellness revolves around identifying stress factors and working towards finding a balance to get you to a point of peace and happiness, this enables you to operate at your maximum
Spirituality is identifying there’s a supreme being who i have submitted my life to and deserves my full consecration
You’ll realize that identification is common.
What’s also common?
Authenticity. It’s common because the end result of identification is honest realization. Peace and realization revolves around not being stressed, pressured or feeling less.
At the end of the day, the main reason why you identify and realize who you are revolves around purpose discovering.
Peace comes from fulfilling it and emotional wellness helps you not to compare yourself unjustly or take up a lane that’s not yours. It helps with stability.
To fulfil purpose, you’ll need to brand it properly, so people can buy into it. Well that’s where marketing communications come in.
