About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

It's not enough to have great ideas. You also need to know how to communicate them.

What makes someone charismatic? Why do some people captivate a room, while others have trouble managing a small meeting? What makes some ideas spread, while other good ones fall by the wayside?

Cues - the tiny signals we send to others 24/7 through our body language, facial expressions, word choices and vocal inflection - have a massive impact on how we, and our ideas, come across. Our cues can either enhance our message or undermine it.

In this entertaining and accessible guide to the hidden language of cues, Vanessa Van Edwards teaches you how to convey power, trust, leadership, likability and charisma in every interaction. You'll learn:

  • Which vocal cues make you sound more confident.
  • Which body language cues assert, 'I'm a leader, and here's why you should join me'.
  • Which verbal cues to use in pitches, branding and emails to increase trust (and generate excitement about interacting with you).
  • Which visual cues you are sending in your profile pictures, clothing and professional brand.

Whether you're pitching an investment, negotiating a job offer or having a tough conversation with a colleague, Cues can help you improve your relationships, express empathy and create meaningful connections with lasting impact.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A great listen, so much to learn and delivered 👌

Loved it, I've listened to this several times!
Each time I pick up new quality pieces of information to apply to my work environment but importantly also life in general 🙂.

Thank you Vanessa for all your hard work and knowledge.

packed with actionable insight!

I wasn't sure how Vanessa was going to top captivate, but here she is! I'm probably going to have to read this again slowly and take very careful notes because they're just so much in it. even on the first read I have so much insight that I am bringing to my social interactions. The only criticism I can give is that the book is so dense that it is easy to get overwhelmed. My advice is just to go slow and enjoy.
