About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

A brilliantly narrated, insightful book full of plenty of great advice and structured in a way that made it so easy to understand. I read Captivate straight afterwards and that’s brilliant too.

One of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to

Have you ever listened to a very interesting audiobook and felt like you want to write down every word you listen to. I love audiobooks but I often stick to authors I know. First encountered Vanessa on YouTube and wasn't sure how she can present her work in audio book. I loved the ideas presented, the narration and the stories. It is one of the books that made me feel like I don't want this book to end. warmly recommended for those who believes in the importance of charm in daily communication!

Have you ever wrote an audiobook down

Nothing to dislike, it's perfectly balanced with cues in the right places. Chapters not too long and we'll summarised at the end so content ties up very well

It's a great balance of warmth and competence
