What to expect

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.

'Packed with invaluable strategies for maximizing your message, Van Edward's energy will inspire you to become the best possible version of yourself' - Nir Eyal, author of Hooked.
