How to measure your progress using the Charisma Checklist...

Your first speaking assignment...
1. Introduce yourself on camera in approximately 60 seconds.
2. Fill out the Charisma Checklist immediately.
This is to help you become aware of the internal experience of speaking. Remember to quantify the experience and avoid vague words like "good" or "ok" . Instead ask yourself - what was good? How did that manifest? For example: "I felt my body language was in alignment as I noticed myself using gestures to indicate height, distance, and shape."
The more detail you use, the faster you will grow. Don't worry if you can't remember anything about certain sections the first few times. Your "in the moment" awareness will grow with practice.
3. Wait a while and then watch the video back.
4. Fill out the checklist again, not as the speaker this time but as an observer.
5. Note any differences between the speaker and observer comments.
