Looking within yourself is an essential part of self awareness, but without the ability to see yourself as others do, you won’t be able to manage what you communicate about yourself to others.  The ability to connect what’s going on inside of you to how you appear on the outside is essential for communicating the right things about yourself, rather than leaving it up to the interpretation of others.  The following steps will allow you to see yourself as others do.

One of the most charismatic and persuasive personal qualities that you can possess is certainty.  Having an unshakable belief in yourself and in what you do is an extremely attractive quality mainly because there is so little certainty in the world.  Things are constantly changing and the world seems more chaotic every day.  This scares us.  A person who possesses certainty will attract a following because it has a calming effect on others.  Being certain takes some experience and some risk, but there are things you can do to become more certain.
