Natural charisma and high people skills are rare gifts, indeed. Can people skills be developed? Yes, people skills can and should be developed.

People come in all shapes and sizes with unique and different personality types. There are four main personality - behavioral types: Dominant, Interactive, Steadiness and Conscientious. We may have all of these behavioral styles in varying degrees in each of us. We may also need and use these behavioral styles in different situations and with different people. People are individuals with as many similarities as differences from one person to the next. To communicate more effectively, each person will require you to communicate with them in their own individual preference style, using their language style, similar body gestures and pitch, pace and intonation. The more you match and mirror someone, the stronger the connection becomes.

Commend, Recommend, Commend - a three-step model for giving quality feedback

Giving and receiving feedback is a key communication skill that is essential if you want to excel at developing long-term business relationships. I suggest that you first extend a sincere compliment, follow this with a practical suggestion for improvement and finish with sincere praise. Remember that truthfulness is a subjective view. What you may find distasteful in someone may be equally desirable from another person's point of view.
