How Do I Work On Your Presence?

Back in 1992, the Supreme Court ruled that states were allowed to tax retailers only if those retailers have a significant physical presence (referred as “nexus”) within those states. They are not require to collect sales tax on mail-order businesses and online retailers. Having a physical presence under the 1992 SC ruling has generally meant having either a corporate office, physical store, sales office, or an order fulfillment center. Yet it varies in some states such as New York and Colorado of which they require an out-of-state sales originating from an affiliate’s advertising or referral efforts (absent of physical presence) to pay taxes for online sales to customers in states where affiliates reside (Dibello & Dion,

Body movement and posture – the way in which people walk, move their hands or even cross their legs can send a message about how they are feeling. When people sit with their arms crossed can mean that they are not taking any notice or that they disagree with you. Leaning back or to the side can show people that they are relaxed or even bored. If you are leaning forward, that can show people that you are interested or that you are showing sympathy or concern. When being face to face with someone that can send the message of being angry.

When receiving negative feedback, avoid defensive reactions. Listen without interruption; however, clarify any misunderstandings. Ask questions to clarify what you did or did not do, ensure you heard correctly. Before taking action, ask for time to think and digest,

I’ve gotten negative comments my entire life, and while I don’t hear them very often, I do think about them when I’m in a weakened state and feeling nervous about my surroundings. I’ve had plenty of time to put things into perspective - I’ve come to that attitude about those comments. My attitude is: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ve heard it before, so what? There’s so much more that I have to offer this world. That just makes my good attitude, an even better example for my kids, my family, friends and the rest of the

In the previous weeks, I have demonstrated charismatic practices by being visionary, strategic, emotionally expressive and warm, and had effective communication skills. As a

Firstly, the concept I found most beneficial is affect displays. Affect displays is a communication action that uses gesture such as hands movement, shaky hands due to nervousness, or startle by shock. The uses of gesture communicate of one person emotions to its audience. For an example, Floyd stated ‘You probably know people who wring their hands when they’re nervous or cover their mouth with their hands when they’re surprised. Those are both affect displays because they coincide with particular emotions’ (Floyd, 2014). It follows that when one demonstrate the notion of affect displays as communicating is expressing emotion through their physical motion. For this reason

I received a total of 23 points in communication, 29 points for attitude and behavior, 4 points for image and appearance, and a total of 26 points in business practices.

Antonakis, J., Fenley, M., & Liechti, S. (2011). Can Charisma Be Taught? Tests of Two Interventions. Academy Of Management Learning & Education, 10(3), 374-396. Antonakis et al starts off research by posing a question. “Can leadership, and in particular charisma, be taught? The authors set out to prove in fact that training can training managers a specific set of charismatic leadership tactics not only improves their charisma, but their effectiveness as leaders. Charismatic leadership is defined as by Antonakis et al as being a sub element of transformational leadership. In the first study researchers assigned 34 middle managers from a Swiss company into two groups randomly. One group received training in charisma and the others received no training. The group receiving training were trained in principles on charismatic leadership. In the second study focused on 41 MBA students enrolled in a leadership course at a Swiss public university monitor charismatic leadership. The students were videotaped giving a 4 minute speech addressing problems within the company while also giving a plan of action to staff. After, speech was done, each participant received training in charismatic leadership and was asked to deliver the same speech 6 weeks later by videotape. Results reveal that improvement and effectiveness as a leader were made in both research groups. This study concluded that feedback is important to the growth and development of leaders and must be provided to

Manipulation of perception and emotion has existed for a long time. For example, sleight of hand has existed for multiple centuries, “magicians” would manipulate small objects to make them “disappear” and then later “reappear” (Sternz). This form of

Many great leaders have one thing in common and that is charisma. Charismatic leaders are those that have the capability to inspire and encourage people to do more than they would normally do, despite obstacles and personal sacrifice. (Daft, R.L, pg. 364) Charisma is what provokes energy and commitment out of its followers. These leaders possess the power to motivate their followers to do almost anything. They create an atmosphere of change and express an ideal vision of a better future. The most common characteristics of the charismatic leader involve maturity, communication, humility, and inspiration. These unique qualities impact their followers and conduct themselves in such a way that allows for remarkable results. Then

Through physical change, the player can accept the changes within themselves and the other person (shown by vivid facial expression, tone, body language)

First, throughout my experience of playing the board games with my group the main thing that I have noticed about myself is that I do not do well when it comes to the issue of feedback. In specifically, the concept of negative feedback as it should be called. This is based on when it comes to my understanding of what my group member’s facial expressions are. This is because I have a really hard time with noticing facial expressions in general and what they could mean. These board games that were played mostly had to deal with figuring out what people’s responses were going to be based off of questions that were being asked. For example, one game that I played that was called Sheriff of Nottingham involved my group members saying what was on their playing cards that were in their hands. My tasks was to figure out if they were telling the truth or not. This was hard because the playing cards that I thought they had and their facial expressions ended up not being connected at all even though I thought they were.

First, charismatic people make a better first impression. Elite Daily talks about how it is an essential trait of any successful person. It is seen, when looking at many entrepreneurs, innovators, and especially leaders, they all possess charisma. An additive charisma has is it increases the effectiveness of getting a point across. This is because charisma raises emotional intelligence, allowing someone to become verbally eloquent, and furthers the ability to communicate from a high emotional level. The Staff at Elite Daily go on specifically to say, “It is what brings light to the room when you walk in. It is about making people feel a way that others can't. It’s about having an impact and being listened to as if you are a god on earth when you speak. That is not something that can be taught or developed; it is just something that you naturally have, just like being naturally athletic.” What the authors are trying to say is that

When we think we meet a charismatic person, what do we actually mean by charismatic? Who’s the most charismatic individual we’ve ever met? And is a person still charismatic once we know them intimately or is charisma reserved to distant leaders? All these questions lead us to a positive connotation of the word “charisma”: the charismatic person is impressive in its speeches and the image it leaves in the audience’s mind.
