Lena: Miles, I was just thinking about that one teacher we all had—the one who walked in and just... owned the room. You know, that "it" factor where students actually wanted to behave? I always thought you were just born with that kind of charisma.
Miles: Right? It feels like magic. But here’s the "cheat code": charisma isn't a genetic accident; it’s actually a toolkit of habits.
