Today I began reading Tim Sander's The L (Likeability) Factor, which has shaped my focus on all things attractive. In Sanders book he explains that prior to the printing of his book, little had been written on defining likeability or what attributes go into it.
There is no doubt in my mind that some people have much more power - whether charisma or other people-based attraction - to attract notice, to drive results as well as to stimulate relationship interest if they focus on their communication skills. From what I've experienced - mostly through others - I have come to the following conclusions about what helps us attract people to our lives, our cause or our thinking.
