The answers that follow are a direct transcription of the words of Dr. Marco Paret, collected in an interview devoted to personal magnetism<\/strong>. For the complete guide: Personal magnetism: what it is, how to develop it, and the secrets revealed<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

1. The first truly magnetic person you met: what does it feel like in their presence?<\/h3>\n

\u201cEveryone has met magnetic people: it\u2019s something absolutely natural. You can feel a magnetic person right away, naturally: there\u2019s like a flow, a power. It\u2019s a very natural thing \u2014 you really do feel it, that presence.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. A moment when personal magnetism changed the outcome of a real situation?<\/h3>\n

\u201cMany times. When you start deciding to be more present, to increase your personal magnetism<\/strong>, automatically \u2014 say, in a negotiation \u2014 you notice the other person is almost pushed to talk more, to try to convince you: it\u2019s not you trying to convince them, it\u2019s the other person trying to convince you. And if the other person is trying to convince you, you\u2019re already in a winning position.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. What do people say when they perceive someone\u2019s magnetism?<\/h3>\n

\u201cPeople say: I felt an effect, I felt a flow, I felt an impact\u2026 you really feel an energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. A student who arrives \u201cdim\u201d and leaves magnetic: what changes in them?<\/h3>\n

\u201cMany. And it happens very simply: at a certain point the person steps out of their thoughts \u2014 thoughts are not very magnetic \u2014 and steps more into their physical perception. Physical perception is far more magnetic.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. How can you recognize a magnetic person before they even speak?<\/h3>\n

\u201cActually, there isn\u2019t just one element: there are several. The congruence of hand movements, a slower breathing pattern, and many other elements. But neither the congruence of movement nor the other signs alone are the signal: the signal is something our unconscious mind picks up. We could say the perception happens at the level of our unconscious mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

6. The most common mistake of someone who wants to become magnetic?<\/h3>\n

\u201cRather than thinking about the situation, try to be in the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

7. One of the secrets of personal magnetism, the first to reveal to a student?<\/h3>\n

\u201cTry to step out of your thoughts and stay in your body: widen your gaze<\/strong>, pay attention to your sensations and to your feet on the ground \u2014 you\u2019ll already have greater magnetism<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. Are magnetism and presence the same thing?<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe could say that whoever develops presence<\/strong> also automatically develops personal magnetism. Presence<\/strong>, however, goes beyond personal magnetism, which is normally understood in connection with others.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. Historical magnetizers cultivated \u201cmagnetic power\u201d through diet, exercises, and discipline. What have you verified in 40 years?<\/h3>\n

\u201cAll true. But you mustn\u2019t overdo it \u2014 you have to understand: est modus in rebus, as the Latins said.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. What did you learn from your masters about personal magnetism, beyond hypnotic technique?<\/h3>\n

\u201cThat you have to start from there \u2014 from within \u2014 to develop power.\u201d<\/p>\n

11. Can magnetism be lost?<\/h3>\n

\u201cIf you let yourself get caught up in thoughts, worries, and other things, it\u2019s obvious you lose personal magnetism.\u201d<\/p>\n

12. What\u2019s the difference between personal magnetism and simple charisma or self-confidence?<\/h3>\n

\u201cPersonal magnetism is something that arises from within. Very often in corporate courses people are taught external attitudes that don\u2019t correspond to any true inner charisma<\/strong>: even charisma<\/strong> has to be internal \u2014 we must express charisma. And most of the self-confidence I see around me is fake confidence: real confidence rests on a strong foundation in the parasympathetic system; it doesn\u2019t need action to exist \u2014 action follows it naturally. There\u2019s a very specific neurology to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

13. Energy, non-verbal signals, or nervous system state: which explanation do you prefer?<\/h3>\n

\u201cFrom a subjective point of view, it\u2019s best to act as if all of these were at play together. Then objectively, research can be done; but if you want to develop personal magnetism, it\u2019s best to start from yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

14. The daily exercise to start tomorrow morning?<\/h3>\n

\u201cWhat I already said: keep your gaze<\/strong> open, feel your feet planted on the ground, breathe in and stretch. Your perception of the world already changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

15. What should research on personal magnetism focus on?<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe fact that people synchronize, almost telepathically: the moment a person works with this idea, it\u2019s as if the intention becomes reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
