Wed, 09 Sep 2026 03:35:00 -0000

How to stop people pleasing and learn how to say no. It's time to put yourself first!

According to Dr. Susan Newman, people pleasers want everyone around them to be happy, and they will do whatever it takes to keep them that way. Dr. Newman said, “for some, saying ‘yes’ is a habit."

In this video:
0:00 Intro

How to be influential and memorable anywhere you go

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 14:19:05 -0000

Learn how to influence people by authentically dialing up your confidence and charisma.

In this video, I am going to teach you five communication strategies and nonverbal tips you can use to be more influential, memorable, and increase your power of influence.

In this video:
0:00 Intro
0:29 Step 1: Set your intention
Your intention is going to help you get really focused on what you want out of an event. Think about what you want from that meeting,. Do you want to make new friends or do you want to gain business contacts?
0:49 Step 2: Success routine
Studies show that confident people are most influential, so you have to be confident! Behaving confidently will make you feel more confident over time.
2:46 Step 3: Make other people feel valued or important
Try to ask how and why questions the right way! When people say something, you want to get them to dig a little bit deeper.
3:50 Step 4: Try to be an addition, not a subtraction
You want to always think, "How can I add value to the conversation?"
4:38 Step 5: Nonverbal communication
Use the head tilt and nods to build trust in others.

The #1 Networking Tip You’re Probably Not Using (with David Burkus)

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 09:05:27 -0000

@DavidBurkus joined us last month in People School for a powerful Office Hours session on networking. One of my favorite takeaways? You don’t have to cold meet strangers to grow your network.

Instead, reconnect with your dormant ties - people you already know but haven’t spoken to in a while. It’s one of the easiest, most effective ways to open new doors.

This is a clip from our live office hours in People School which we host every month! Watch the full class inside People School and join our next class. Learn more about People School: www.scienceofpeople.com/enroll

Elevator Pitch tips

Elevator pitches. We all know we need one, but do you have one? And if you do, what does your delivery look like? This is the most important part of a first impression, and I'm going to give you valuable tips on making your elevator pitch one to remember.

In this video, I critiqued John's elevator pitch. I gave him some insight on what he did really well and gave advice on what he could improve on. Take notes from this video and implement them into your elevator pitches to be more confident, be more memorable, and of course, land clients.

These are the best practices for your elevator pitch and to elevate what you may already have on paper!

In this video, I talk about the subtle nonverbal cues women often do and what they all mean and actionable steps to approaching a woman who you might be interested in.

Color Psychology: Understanding How Color Choices Affects Our Behavior

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 16:24:32 -0000

How does color affect mood? Wear the right colors to send powerful and mood-boosting messages.

In this video, I am going to teach you the psychological effects of color on human behavior, and how colors affect mood and stress levels.

Color specialist Leatrice Eiseman explains it best, as she says, “We have a repository of information about a color. For example, the color blue is almost always associated with blue skies, which when we are children is a positive thing — it means playing outside and fun. Evolutionarily, it also means there are no storms to come. This is why it reminds us of stability and calm.”

In this video:
0:00 Intro
0:31 What does red mean? Passion
1:16 What does grey mean? Passive
2:06 What does blue mean? Dependable
3:12 What does purple mean? Luxury
4:04 What does the pale version of colors mean? Toned down
4:29 What does orange mean? Success
4:57 Final thoughts

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 10:08:10 -0000

What exactly is the body language of a leader? What makes them take charge over a room, nonverbally? Can a leader be identified regardless of job title?

01:17 Do leaders smile more or less?
02:10 Do leaders interrupt or not?

Empower others, Transform organizations, and Elevate your career. Become a certified People Coach!

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 07:00:00 -0000

For years, earnest students have asked me a version of this question:
“Vanessa… how can I teach this work?”
Today, I finally get to answer it.

I just opened applications to be a Science of People Certified People Coach, and if you’re someone who already guides others — in your company, your community, or your practice — this might be the next step you’ve been waiting for.

The People Coach Certification gives you my complete Science of People communication framework — the same frameworks I’ve used with Fortune 500 leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and millions of students.
It’s a rigorous, research-backed credential for leaders who want to help people transform their lives, their confidence and their communication.

What This Program Is
The People Coach Certification is an 8 week program you can bring to your organization, your clients, your community. We give you the exact workbooks, slides and curriculum to help others be master communicators.

We are looking for two types of Coaches:
1. Intrapreneurs, Managers, & Organizational Leaders
If you want to be the go-to communication expert inside your team or company, this gives you the tools and credibility to do it. You’ll be able to:
Lead communication-focused workshops.Coach colleagues with a proven, research-backed method. Get noticed by leadership as the person who elevates communication and strengthens team culture.This is an incredible add to your resume & professional toolkit no matter your industry or career goals.
2. Coaches, Entrepreneurs, Educators, Social Workers & Faith Leaders
If you already support people — one-on-one or in groups — this framework gives you structure, tools, and science to take your impact to the next level.

You’ll be able to:
→ Guide clients through meaningful behavior change
→ Deliver memorable, effective sessions that get rave reviews and truly ignite transformation
→ Empower people with confidence and clarity
→ Add a respected credential to your practice & resume.
If you want to elevate your career by helping others, this certification is for you.

About the Certification
I built this certification for busy professionals, so the learning is flexible — but make no mistake, it is rigorous. This is advanced training for people who want to teach, coach, and facilitate with depth, nuance, and integrity.

A few important things to know before you apply:
The program is application only: We’re looking for individuals who align deeply with our mission: people who are fiercely helpful, deeply service-oriented, and committed to using communication as a force for good. (And we would LOVE applicants from all over the world and all backgrounds!)
This is cohort based learning. You’ll move through the program with a group of equally ambitious peers — sharing insights, practicing skills together, and learning in community. This keeps the experience energizing, supportive, and kind.
We look for motivation and mastery. To be able to teach effectively, ideal applicants need a willingness to do detailed, challenging work, and a readiness to engage fully with the curriculum. If you put in the work, we promise you will walk away ready to teach.

What You Get:
Once accepted into the 2026 cohort, you get access to:
→ The full certification curriculum (self-paced, finish in as little as 8 weeks)
→ 8 live teaching sessions with me
→ Core slides, workbooks, and 200+ page facilitator guides you can use with your clients or teams

Your Social Battery Is Real — How much people energy do you have

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 01:46:21 -0000

Let’s talk about social energy — or what I like to call people energy.

There’s a “fact” floating around that introverts only have 2.3 hours of people energy. We tried to find the research. It doesn’t exist. So… probably fake.

The real truth? Social bandwidth is wildly variable.

Your energy changes based on:
Where you are
Who you’re with
What you’re talking about

A loud party with strangers? Draining.
Time with people who light you up? You might go all day.

The goal isn’t to become more extroverted — it’s to optimize your social calendar.
What’s your social energy bandwidth?
What food fuels you?
What people fuel you?
What places fuel you?

7 Powerful Hand Gestures You Should Be Using

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 11:35:00 -0000

Research has shown that hand gestures make anyone more trustworthy, likable and charismatic.

In this video, I'm going to teach you what hand gestures you should be using on a daily basis. Hand gestures support memorability, trustworthiness, and clarity. These powerful hand gestures can be used in normal social interactions, networking events, or presentations and can leave a great lasting impression!

For some people, hand gestures come naturally, but others must practice. For example, in this video I mention how politicians have to learn how to point in a non-aggressive way. Practice with a friend or in the mirror and nail this powerful nonverbal social cue!
