Charisma Comes With Competence
What is charisma?
The meaning of the word charisma is something related to appeal and attraction. The dictionary lists the following words as synonyms of the word "charisma."
allure, appeal, attractiveness, captivation, charm, magnetism, etc.
Every living entity, including humans, and other non-human animals, possesses a certain degree of charisma <--> It is my very personal idea which may not be realistic. Right now, I don't have any solid evidenced proof.
Charisma is not apparent though. Humans purposefully try to acquire charisma, as if one can develop charisma by practice like any other traditional traits and skills. However, it is not impossible to learn how to be charismatic in real life.
Charisma is a behavioral trait that can change your life.
Highly charismatic people demonstrate good character traits.
They are authentic and truthful.
They never fail to show empathy to help others.
They are lifelong learners, and always learn new knowledge and skills.
What else is essential for being charismatic?
If you wish to be charismatic, you must be competent.
Charismatic people possess one common character trait.
Charismatic people possess Competence.
So, now the question is how to be competent.
If you wish to be competent, you must be decently expert in a field connected to solving life problems and developing solutions to surmount those problems.
Thus, learning and acquiring knowledge and skills are a must.
Practice, practice, and practice unless you acquire competence.
Competent people are charismatic and they know to face daily life issues.

Charisma comes with competence.
Don't have any ambiguous perceptions about charisma. If one wishes to be charismatic, he/she must be competent before showing confidence.
I have learned it lately from a video discussion between two charismatic people.
=> It is COMPETENCE, not confidence, which is essential
=> to install charisma into your character trait bank.
The first and foremost step is to acquire knowledge.
The second step is to develop associated skills to solve relevant life problems.
All these grindings install the required competence in your character trait bank.

Postscript
The main points may be summarized.
<=> The main point is to learn knowledge and skills.
<=> The rest is built with the acquired competence.
And, competence can do all the good things in life.
A comment by @ARTicLEE poses the question of whether "Confidence" is more important than "Competence."
After rethinking a while, I found that "Confidence" comes with "Competence."
Without "Competence" what we have is "Bragging," not "Confidence."
The flow of 3 Cs follow the order: "Competence -> Confidence -> Charisma."
Being charismatic is a process, not wearing an elite badge.
Anyway, I don't bother to assess whether I am charismatic or not.
I try to build competence in my core fields, i.e., passwords and cybersecurity.
I am a long-time user of LinkedIn.

I've often been told I am charismatic, almost as often as I've been told I am arrogant, or narcissistic.
Sometimes it is both. Funny phenomenon within psychology and genetics. A natural conversationalist, great eyes, social queues.
When I look at people I feel as if I am looking right through them. I see everything. What they want, what they hope for, what they want me to be, how to be it, how to mold every situation into something for my, or their advantage.
The other side, from my mother, is that of an empath. I feel their pain, I understand their suffering, and I feel it right along with them.
Charisma must be taken with a dose of salt for this reason.
However, true charismatic features are presented in honest people who wish good will on those around them.
People are often devils in angel clothing. Much like the wolf to the sheep.
I've chosen to remove myself from most social ventures on the off chance that I would harm someone emotionally or otherwise.
