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

From the Back Cover

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.
