In this episode, Christina Martini discusses:

• The likeability factor and the reality and fiction of likeability.
• The relationship between gravitas and how it is applied in the business world.
• The different components of gravitas and how we are able to use that to serve the greater good and maintain our credibility.
• Everyone can take steps in developing and harnessing gravitas and likeability.

Key Takeaways:

• Trustworthiness, credibility and predictability are all critical ingredients of being likable.
• There is a level of assertiveness and self-assuredness which go hand in hand with gravitas, and these are inextricably linked with our posture, body language and level of engagement when interacting with others.
• Being a great communicator means we are able to take our knowledge and insight and successfully and passionately convey them to others in an inspiring way.
• We all would benefit greatly by focusing on both our likability as well as our gravitas.

“Gravitas is not just for politicians, newscasters and the C-suite anymore. It has become increasingly important for all professionals, and lawyers in particular. Having gravitas helps to inspire the trust, confidence, and peace of mind of clients.” — Christina Martini
