In this podcast, Vanessa Van Edwards, a behavioral investigator, explores the fascinating science of cues—like body language, vocal tone, words, and appearance—and their influence on our interactions and success. She highlights that charisma is something we can learn rather than a trait we're born with, emphasizing the importance of projecting both warmth and competence. Van Edwards shares practical tips on enhancing these qualities through specific cues such as hand gestures, posture, eye contact, and vocal inflection. The conversation also addresses how to overcome awkward moments, manage complex relationships, and the vital role of self-awareness in effective communication, personal branding, and forming meaningful connections.
