What was said
""At this point I am genuinely concerned that these days in this attention economy, charisma matters more than intelligence, integrity, competence. It's a problem.""
Cabane says she has become increasingly worried that public attention, rather than merit, is rewarded across modern media and professional life. She says this is one reason she wants charisma training to be more widely available, to “level the playing field”.
