EP 145 - Vanessa Van Edwards
Thanks so much for tuning into the Pretty Intense Podcast. Today we have Vanessa Van Edwards. She is an author. She is a behavioral investigator and a body language trainer. Her first book is called "Captivate" and her latest book is called "Cues". This is all about the signals we give through out with our body language. These cues can be verbal, non verbal, vocal, and imagery. When we learn to read these cues, we can read if people are trust worthy, anxious, confident, or a liar. When we learn to control the cues we are sending out, we can project an image of confidence, intelligence, worthiness, and trustworthy, rather than one of defeat, insecurity, incompetence or even untruthful. Vanessa gives us great tips on how to get the best out of a first impression, that are really useful for work, for dating, for all interaction. We hope you enjoy this episode.
