- Good Listener: It seems rare these days. Someone who doesn’t interrupt and shows a genuine interest in what you are saying. They will respond and not “react” mid-story or mid-sentence. Good thing is, one can practice listening skills and improve over time.
- Humor: Not the center of attention humor, the off the cuff humor. The quirky, quick witted humor that is rare these days.
- Caring: They treat everyone as equal. They hold the door for the next person, offer assistance when they see someone struggling, easily approachable, etc.
- Smile: Nothing more charming than a nice smile. A smile can go a long way with someone that is having a bad day. Smile often.
- Adventurous: Someone who has their own life. They are the person that is doing a lot of exciting things and share their experiences.
- Humble: They take nothing for grant it and are appreciative for what they have. They don’t compare themselves to others. And off little to no judgement of others. They are self-aware and open to constructive criticism when needed.
- Authentic: They are themselves, whoever that may be. They aren’t trying to keep up with the Jones, they are who they are. They are aware not everyone will like them and they will be Ok with that.
- Confidence: Don’t confuse it with arrogance. Arrogance isn’t charming but someone who is comfortable with who they are is.
- Passion: Someone that has a passion. A passion they are good at and not blowing smoke trying to gain acceptance and approval from others. Their passion will radiate naturally when they talk about it.
