episode 167: Vanessa Van Edwards: The Science of People
Vanessa Van Edwards (@vvanedwards) is a recovering awkward person who teaches people how to be more successful with people.
Vanessa was a great student, but, she says, she was terrible with people. Until one day she discovered that she could study people and interacting with people the same way she studied math and science.
In fact, she used math and science to break down social interactions. She set up a lab and started running experiments on everything from conversation starters to reading facial expressions.
She shares everything she’s learned in her hit book, Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People. This book breaks down social interaction so you can succeed, whether that’s thriving in networking events, or having a more fulfilling dating life.
You’re going to learn:
- How can awkwardness be a part of your own unique brand of charisma?
- How can you get the most out of conferences, even if you’re an introvert?
- What is "The Franklin Effect," and how can it make you more likable, even to your mortal enemies?
