Why do some leaders effortlessly earn trust and create environments where we thrive while others come off as sterile and struggle to create a welcoming space? Bestselling author, Vanessa Van Edwards, says it’s because some people have naturally high charisma, or a harmonious blend of warmth and competence, and others have to work to cultivate charisma. Vanessa is the author of Captivate: The Science of Succeeding With People, her TED Talk has over 54 million views, and she’s spent nearly 17 years formulating, researching, and writing her newest book Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication. She joins me in this episode to talk about the science of charisma and how you can use it in your life to be a better leader, entrepreneur, friend, or partner.From This Episode:Visit Vanessa’s website and check out her YouTube channel!Buy a copy of Vanessa’s new book, “Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication"   Vanessa's Book List:The Giver by Lois LowryThe Lean Startup by Eric RiesWhy Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps by Allan PeaseLinchpin by Seth GodinBook me to speak at your event or to your team!Grab a 2022 Finish Calendar!Check out the Finish CourseYou can get more info on the Soundtracks Video CourseFollow Jon on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook.Order Soundtracks, Jon's newest book available wherever you find quality books!
