Stop Faking Confidence: Master These Cues Instead

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.Vanessa’s books:CaptivateCuesIn this episode you will:Break through the social awkwardness holding you back by labeling rejection cues before they hijack your nervous systemDiscover why hand gestures carry more weight than your actual words and how hiding your hands destroys trust instantlyMaster the perfect balance between warmth and competence that separates forgettable professionals from magnetic leadersUnderstand how your voice tone changes people's physiology within seconds and makes them question or believe everything you sayTransform your emails and presentations using achievement-oriented words that double motivation and performance in othersFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1869For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Evy PoumpourasChris VossJefferson Fisher Get more from Lewis! Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Get The Greatness Mindset audiobook on SpotifyText Lewis AIYouTubeInstagramWebsiteTiktokFacebookX Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. James Doty achieved every material goal he set as a 12-year-old kid in poverty—the Rolex, the Porsche, the mansion overlooking the ocean—only to realize he'd built a prison of his own insecurity. Most people stumble through manifestation inefficiently because they're operating from fear, shame, and limiting beliefs that were wired into them before they were ten years old. The real power of manifestation isn't about attracting more stuff—it's about understanding the neuroscience of how your brain networks work together when you shift from sympathetic nervous system activation (fear and survival) to parasympathetic engagement (openness and creativity). When you stop chasing hedonic happiness and start living with purpose that serves others, your brain's executive control network, attention network, and salience network align to create synchronicities that feel like magic. The key is learning to manifest from love instead of fear, from service instead of selfishness, and from compassion for yourself instead of that relentless inner critic telling you you're not enough.Dr. Doty’s books:Into the Magic ShopMind MagicIn this episode you will:Break through the myth that external achievements will heal internal shame and finally feel worthyMaster the difference between hedonic happiness (pleasure-seeking that leaves you empty) and eudaimonic happiness (purpose-driven fulfillment that lasts)Transform your relationship with failure by understanding how childhood baggage controls every decision and relationship you have as an adultDiscover why manifesting from fear and insecurity limits your brain's ability to create what you actually needUncover the neuroscience of why your sympathetic nervous system blocks manifestation and how to shift to parasympathetic engagementFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1868For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Jim CurtisDr. Daniel AmenRhonda Byrne Get more from Lewis! Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Get The Greatness Mindset audiobook on SpotifyText Lewis AIYouTubeInstagramWebsiteTiktokFacebookX Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
