Cues are the tiny signals we send to others through our body language, facial expressions, word choices and vocal inflection. What do your cues say about you?


As a human behaviour scientist, Vanessa Van Edwards studies the hidden forces that drive us in her research lab, Science of People, and in this book she reveals how cues have a massive impact on how we come across to other people. The signals you think you’re sending might not be landing in the way you expect.

  • Do your vocal cues make you sound confident?
  • Do your body language cues say, “I'm a leader, and you should join me”?
  • Are your verbal cues getting people excited about your ideas?
  • Do your visual cues project the right personal brand?


Whether you're pitching an investment, negotiating a job offer or having a tough conversation with your boss, knowing which cues to use, and which ‘danger-zone cues’ to avoid, will help you project warmth, competence and authority in all your interactions.

'Many people’s signals are misunderstood, and Vanessa’s work helps bridge that gap' Jay Shetty

🌟 Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication by Vanessa Van Edwards 🌟 There`s a quiet kind of loneliness in not being understood. You talk, People nod, but something`s missing; that 'spark', that sense of being truly seen. 💔 You replay conversations later, wondering what You could`ve said differently, why connection always seems easier for everyone else. This is the moment Vanessa the Author reaches for Your hand. She doesn`t just teach You how to talk or act; she shows You in Cues, this book how to see People, and nore importantly, how to be seen. 🗝🧠✨️ With every page, You start noticing things no one else sees; the 'flicker' in someone`s eyes. Thee warmth in a real smile, the shift in energy when someone finally feels safe around You. 🤝 And suddenly, the World and the Universe stops feeling like a guessing game. People open up. They trust You. They remember You. 🌎💫 By the time You finish, You don`t just know how to connect; You become someone who naturally does. Someone who can walk confidently into a room and light it up without trying. 🔥🕊 💬 "See what others miss. Respond with clarity. Become unforgettable."
