Oprah, Elon Musk, Tom Brady and how to use the power of charisma in your own life – My interview with Vanessa Van Edwards.
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.

I rate a podcast on the number of times I talk out loud while listening and this one got 5 stars for sure. I laughed out loud but there were some major "wow" "that makes so much sense" (Elon Musk I am talking about you!) and just "okay..." I would never rate myself as having charisma before listening to this but I do use a lot of exclamation points, and my signature line in my email is pretty darn positive...maybe I have more than I previously imagined?!? (See what I did there?) Seriously though, adding this gem to my TBR. Thanks for another amazing guest! Oh and keep those Mt. Rushmore questions coming! (I literally say, "YES," out loud every time you ask)
