Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication

This book breaks everything down into the most minute details. I like it because I need to know every possible angle regarding anything. I've noticed people being more conversational than usual, and the only thing I've changed is my body language so far.

So I saw Vanessa Van Edwards "Diary of a CEO" episode on YouTube and I was intrigued, so I bought her book. It is literally the best book I have ever read that explains the social and internal cues I go through on a daily basis. I am so pleased with my purchase, I felt the need to share it with you here! :) Thank you Vanessa for writing this masterpiece, I am truly in awe. Not only has this book improved my connections with other people, but it has changed the way I am perceived, and has given me a leg up in such things like: negotiating, brand perception, and acceptance with others. It feels like a life hack and I am constantly amazed at how much of my life I had left to chance before, where now I get to take control and be in the drivers' seat. Thank you Vanessa!

Its good

One of the ways to be “efficient” is to be able to quickly engage with your potential mate, counterpart, partner, or audience. This takes charisma, which the book clearly and directly shows you how to achieve.The examples in this book are well-researched behavioral topics which are immediately actionable to help you with your everyday interactions. Unlike similar books which are often difficult to understand, this author makes a potentially dense topic applicable to emails, meeting people, texting, and public speaking with clear examples. It is a very easy read.As a “competent” professional, I immediately *intentionally* implemented some of the “warm” cues to enhance engagement and interaction with my “customers” – can you say charisma?!Yes. Charisma is a teachable / learnable skill.Knowledge of the cues will also allow you to clearly decipher another’s body language so you can immediately and CONTEXTUALLY respond to your advantage. This impacts on everyday interactions such as dating, sales, or simply speaking with your significant other.I changed how I set up one of my video cameras based on some of the recommendations in the book so I can improve audience engagement in my online videos. I changed what I do when I first meet a new “customer” to immediately “bond” by encoding multiple cues.We all have great ideas. Minding your Ps and “cues” will help you DELIVER your great ideas so they are not inadvertently lost in communication.Learn your cues. Reach your success efficiently.P.S. I will be hosting a book club among my professional colleagues on this book very soon. It’s THAT impactful.
