236: Vanessa Bohns | The Unseen Influence You Have

Vanessa Bohns, social psychologist, professor of organizational behavior at Cornell University, author, and researcher joins me on this episode.

Vanessa is an expert on help-seeking, social influence, compliance, consent, and why it’s so hard to say no. She’s been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and The Economist, among other media outlets. Her writing has appeared in Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Business Insider, and elsewhere.

Topics we cover include imposter syndrome, reframing anxiety, Vanessa’s journey into academia, having more influence than we think, the power of the ask, learning to say no, the impact of technology and social media on influence, the difference between compliance and consent, and more.
