The Gift of Charisma

Joe Kwon, the Connection Counselor

Monday, January 27 at 6:30 PM

Registration Required - Click Here to Register Online

"Some gifts benefit the giver as much as the recipient - charisma is one of them"

Registration Required Do you enjoy spending time with someone who is not paying attention? Do you like it when you do most of the work, but someone else gets all the credit? Have you ever noticed that the majority of people who get ahead in life have tons of charisma? Personal Coach Joe Kwon will share a simple, but powerful method the delivers charisma in any situation. He will cover:

• why charisma is so hard to define
• a groundbreaking definition of charisma that will allow you to unlock your charisma
• how to get people to make eye contact and engage instead of staring at their devices.

All attendees will receive a free copy of Joe's Ebook, Unlock Your Charisma
 

Joe Kwon, the Connection Counselor is the host of the "Why It Works" podcast and author of the "Unlock Your" series of books (www.joekwonjoe.com/charisma). An acclaimed coach and motivational speaker, his goal is to help you unlock the best version of yourself. Joe works for the Big 4 accounting firm KPMG, holds a B.A. in psychology from the University of Virginia, a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center, and lives in Oakland with his wife Heather and son Lukas.
