Business Insider's Ana Altchek shares a simple habit to help you become more magnetic at work. The key to commanding a room is being fully present and engaging with others without distraction. To achieve this, Pamela Meyer, author of How to Read the Room, advises practicing a quick pre-arrival exercise called PAM: Purpose, Attention, Modulate.
Before entering an important interaction, ensure you are focused on the task at hand and free from distractions. By doing so, you create an environment where others feel valued and connected to you. Meyer's study reveals that when people feel genuinely listened to, they develop a sense of closeness and connection with the listener, which is the essence of being magnetic.
To implement this approach, start by setting a clear purpose for your interaction, then turn off your phone and clear your mind of digital and mental distractions. Finally, take three deep breaths and visualize the energy you wish to bring into the room. By following these steps, you'll be able to make others feel seen and valued, ultimately making you more magnetic at work.
