Why do some leaders effortlessly earn trust and create environments where we thrive while others come off as sterile and struggle to create a welcoming space? Bestselling author, Vanessa Van Edwards, says it’s because some people have naturally high charisma, or a harmonious blend of warmth and competence, and others have to work to cultivate charisma. Vanessa is the author of Captivate: The Science of Succeeding With People, her TED Talk has over 54 million views, and she’s spent nearly 17 years formulating, researching, and writing her newest book Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication. She joins me in this episode to talk about the science of charisma and how you can use it in your life to be a better leader, entrepreneur, friend, or partner.From This Episode:Visit Vanessa’s website and check out her YouTube channel!Buy a copy of Vanessa’s new book, “Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication"   Vanessa's Book List:The Giver by Lois LowryThe Lean Startup by Eric RiesWhy Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps by Allan PeaseLinchpin by Seth GodinBook me to speak at your event or to your team!Grab a 2022 Finish Calendar!Follow Jon on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook.Order Soundtracks, Jon's newest book available wherever you find quality books!

We live in a culture that’s obsessed with living regret-free, but if we’re honest, we all have them. Collectively, it’s the most common negative emotion we experience, so why do we struggle to deal with it so much? That question led New York Times bestselling author, Daniel H. Pink, to ask 16,000 people in 105 countries about their regrets. He found that this negative emotion has the potential to be used in a powerful and positive way. He joins me in this episode for a conversation about how dealing with your regrets and failures can help you reprioritize your values, make you a better decision maker, and propel your life in a new direction.From This Episode:Find out more about Dan Pink at his website where you can order The Power of Regret or any of his other books and book him to speak!Dan's Book List:Working by Studs Terkel Mindset by Carol DweckInfluence by Robert Cialdini 1984 by George OrwellAnimal Farm by George OrwellGrab a 2022 Finish Calendar!Enter code JONACUFF at Ukwazi Makadamia to get a free snack-size package of macadamia nuts with any order!Follow Jon on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook.Order Soundtracks, Jon's newest book available wherever you find quality books!
