'Charisma' (charisma) is something a person 'hat' (has) or 'ausstrahlt' (radiates). It is often described with adjectives such as 'groß' (great), 'enorm' (enormous), 'natürlich' (natural), or 'persönlich' (personal).
Sie hat ein natürliches Charisma, das die Menschen sofort begeistert.

Very often, the word is used in the construction 'eine Person mit (viel/großem) Charisma' (a person with a lot of/great charisma) to describe someone.

presence
'Präsenz' and 'Charisma' can both have to do with the effect a person has on others. 'Charisma' means a special personal magnetism through which someone fascinates or influences others. 'Präsenz' is somewhat broader: a person has a strong effect in a room, on stage, or in a conversation, even without being especially likable or charismatic. The words can be confused because both can be used positively to talk about people. 'Charisma' fits more with personal appeal, while 'Präsenz' fits more with a strong effect in a situation.
