Vanessa Van Edwards shares research showing that brilliant people lose opportunities not because they lack intelligence, but because they under-signal their warmth and competence. She reveals how your body language, vocal tone, and word choice are either enrolling people in your vision or pushing them away without you realizing it. The science proves that charisma isn’t about being the loudest person in the room—it’s about balancing trust signals with capability signals in every interaction. You’ll learn why faking confidence always leaks through danger zone cues and how authentic presence creates the chemical reactions that make people want to work with you. These aren’t tricks to manipulate—they’re tools to help you show up as your most genuine, powerful self so your best ideas finally get the attention they deserve.
