On Cue: The Power of Nonverbal Communication with Vanessa Van Edwards teaches us that, we, as women, tend to give up our power too easily, and one of the ways we do that is with nonverbal cues. So today, Judi is joined by an original friend of the show, Vanessa! A behavioral investigator and charisma queen, Vanessa dives into her new book, Cues, to share how we can all start taking back our power in a subtle, yet powerful, way. A self-proclaimed “recovering awkward person”, Vanessa knows what it means to feel powerless in your own body, so she went on a mission to discover how our cues and gestures are sending a message about how we want to be perceived in the world. Learn all about the evolutionary science behind cues, what’s the most charismatic way to answer the phone, and why neuroticism shouldn’t be a dirty word anymore.
Today on Yes, And:
- Using verbal and nonverbal cues to empower yourself
- Which cues are the most confident and charismatic
- The science and evolution behind gestures and cues
- Removing the stigma from neuroticism
- Three polite power moves to get someone to stop talking
Top 3 Quotes:
- Cues are not just what we show people, what we decode, they actually create loops. And that affects our day, our energy.
- Neuroticism is the black sheep of the personality traits. But it’s my mission to make it not be a bad word anymore, because neuroticism is simply how you respond to stimuli.
- When I was onstage or in a meeting, I’d see a cue and misinterpret it as negative. And it would psyche me out… So when I know exactly what cues are being sent to me and I understand them, that is incredibly empowering.
