Synopsis

For anyone who wants to be heard at work, earn that overdue promotion, or win more clients, deals, and projects, the bestselling author of Captivate, Vanessa Van Edwards, shares her advanced guide to improving professional relationships through the power of cues.

What makes someone charismatic? Why do some captivate a room, while others have trouble managing a small meeting? What makes some ideas spread, while other good ones fall by the wayside? If you have ever been interrupted in meetings, overlooked for career opportunities or had your ideas ignored, your cues may be the problem – and the solution.

Cues – the tiny signals we send to others 24/7 through our body language, facial expressions, word choice, 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, likeability, and charisma in every interaction. You’ll learn:

  •  Which body language cues assert, “I’m a leader, and here’s why you should join me.”
  •  Which vocal cues make you sound more confident
  •  Which verbal cues to use in your résumé, 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. This is an indispensable guide for entrepreneurs, team leaders, young professionals, and anyone who wants to be more influential.

* This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing charts and exercises.

Goodreads review by Alina on December 18, 2021

I received a free advance copy of this book (which made me so happy! As I have been a massive fan of what Vanessa has done over these years and I consider her first book "Captivate" one of the most life changing books that I have ever read!). I loved it. And especially, the comment at the end, that t......more

Goodreads review by Katherine on April 22, 2023

Changing my rating because I picked the book back up to officially finish it, and I enjoyed the rest of the book a lot! Love the chapter about visual cues in particular. The non verbal cues were very interesting, but I started to feel like they were extremely subjective. It seemed too prescriptive f......more

Goodreads review by Lynn on August 04, 2022

I’m just an HR professional and I was hoping to understand verbal and non-verbal cues in order to best understand and engage with employees. This book overall does deliver that, but it’s packaged in a hustle culture perspective that is off putting at times (like suggesting that black men dress a cer......more

Goodreads review by Sally on April 21, 2023

This was a quick and interesting read! A lot of the information the author presents on our “cues” was stuff I already knew, but might not have intentionally thought about.
