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

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 18:01:15 -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

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 11:18:45 -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?

30 New Years Resolution Ideas...and how to keep them

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:52:30 -0000

Save the date for December 31st—for my annual FREE New Year's class right here on Youtube. We will dive into the science of goal-setting. Here is the link to the class: https://youtu.be/QQStwxis778

To get you ready check out this overview of all my ideas. We make really lofty goals for ourselves at the beginning of each year. "be more healthy" "read more" "become more successful". But somehow at the end of each year, these goals become "shoulds". You know, "I should eat more greens" "I should drink more water" "I should take my vitamins" how boring.

I want to take those boring new years resolutions and turn them into reachable, quantifiable goals. In this video I talk about the mistakes most people make when setting a new year's resolution and I pick from a magical bucket to share 30 new year's resolution ideas. Reachable, quantifiable, new year's resolutions.

Here's the anti-boredom list to be more interesting in 2022!: https://www.scienceofpeople.com/things-to-do-when-bored/

I'm excited to share these with you and for what's to come for all of us in 2022!

Cues: My Why

Cues has been 17 years in the making and I wanted to share my why story.

As a recovering awkward person myself, I made it my mission to study what makes people tick. In building my social skills, I noticed that highly charismatic people had similar social cues within their verbal, nonverbal, vocal, and imagery cues. I thought charisma was innate! But I know that charisma can be learned and I'm excited to share the science with you.

The Ultimate Guide to Creating Your Bucket List

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 00:17:30 -0000

Do you have a bucket list? This is a list of wishes and desires you want to accomplish in your life. They can range from small like learning how to sew to huge like visiting every country in the world. Are you living the life you want to live? Do you have things on your bucket list that you want to accomplish before a certain milestone?
Having a bucket list will help you stay on track with your personal goals.

I think everyone should have a Bucket List or a “To Experience” list. Here’s why:

• Bucket lists make you stop and think what you actually want to experience in this lifetime.

• Bucket lists remind you that life is short and we should live it to its fullest.

• Bucket lists increase our happiness because they give us both hope and curiosity (2 essential ingredients for happiness).

And in this video, I want to help you create your bucket list and start executing the amazing items you have been dying to try. What are you waiting for?

7 Powerful Hand Gestures You Should Be Using

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 20:56:15 -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!

The Science of Black Friday Shopping

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 17:32:30 -0000

Today is Black Friday, one of America's favorite shopping day.... Over one hundred million people will get up super early and grab the best deals from local or eCommerce stores.

Giving how popular today is, it is inevitable that unnecessary purchases are made and this got me thinking about the driving forces behind people’s shopping behaviors. As I began my research, I found 6 emotions that stem from buying. What are they??

Take a few minutes to watch this video and find out which emotion retailers are triggering.

Want more details on why do people go shopping on Black Friday?

The Science of Productivity and How To Be Productive

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 14:30:00 -0000

Do you struggle with being productive and don't know how to be productive? Being productive can be made into a habit. Productive people are mindful of what they are doing, and how they are doing it. We discovered a survey conducted by Microsoft and found out that most people are unproductive at work-- a whopping 17 hours per week out of an average 45-hour work week.

In our research lab, we wanted to know how people like you and I could reach extraordinary levels of productivity, and we found some great tips backed by science. Here are some science-based strategies to help you be more productive.

How to say NO!

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 07:28:45 -0000

Do you have hard time saying no? It can be very hard to say no because you don't want to upset people. We don't want people to feel bad, or make people think we're rude. With us being social creatures, we are driven to preserve our relationships and so it can be difficult to let people down even if it is the right thing for you.

In our weekly Twitter poll, we asked people whether this statement was true or false for them: “I have a hard time saying no.” As someone who struggles with saying no myself, I decided to go in the research lab and learn how to say no without being awkward or damaging relationships.

In this video I want to share several hacks that will save your relationships.

Stop Doing This With Your To Do List

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 13:30:00 -0000

The to do list is one of the most frequently used productivity tactics. What motivates you to do your best work? It might be time for a change. When you do your best work, work becomes easier and more efficient. Everyone on a team works more strategically.
Smart task management is the best way to improve your productivity. When we talk about productivity, we usually think about software and lists and time tracking.

My strategy is totally different--and will hopefully completely change the way you think about tasks. I want to teach you a powerful concept that I like to call Alphabet Work.

Here’s how it works: Everyone excels at different kinds of tasks. Some people love details and routine, some people love creativity and spontaneity.

The key to productivity is hitting your best work.

Too busy to do actual work? Change the way you email

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 12:30:00 -0000

I used to be addicted to my email. I checked all the time. And when I wasn't checking my email, I was thinking about checking my email. Here's some astounding research: We are checking our email every 6 minutes. Email management has become a discipline in itself, and information overload is now a real thing. This got me thinking: why do we work so hard on email management, instead of replacing the processes that generated these messages in the first place?

My guest today, New York Times Bestselling Author Cal Newport @CalNewportMedia , will be sharing his vision for the future of work, and some great advice on how to build workflows that don’t rely on constant email checking.

Check out Cal's new book "A World Without Email" here: https://www.amazon.com/World-Without-Email-Reimagining-Communication-ebook/dp/B08BKSJX1M

Self-esteem expert shares her best tips to start loving yourself

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 04:30:00 -0000

Is there a self-esteem crisis? We need more esteemable acts in our life. Low self-esteem seems so hard to overcome! What are we missing? I’ll give you a clue: if you think self-esteem is only made of positive self-talk, the truth will surprise you. There’s a concept you should know about called “esteemable acts”.

I’m honored to have Francine Ward as a guest today. She’s a successful speaker, practicing attorney, and author of the book “Esteemable Acts: 10 Actions for Building Real Self-Esteem”, a book I read years ago and gave me many valuable insights that I still apply today. I encourage you to watch the interview and share it with someone who needs to hear this advice. You can be the light at the end of someone else’s tunnel.

If you want to learn more about @Francineward visit her website: https://www.francineward.com/ and check out her book: https://www.amazon.com/Esteemable-Acts-Actions-Building-Self-Esteem/dp/0767912187

9:02 Questions from the book - What do you value?
10:56 What is your personal mission statement?
12:48 What is your passion in life? What are your talents? How would you spend your money?

How to Make Friends While Traveling...For Introverts with Matt Kepnes @Matthew Kepnes

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 03:30:00 -0000

In this interview, I sat down with Matt Kepnes, otherwise known as Nomadic Matt. Matt is the founder of NomadicMatt.com and the author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day: Third Edition: Travel Cheaper, Longer, Smarter.

Matt has been to over 90 countries and is a true travel expert. He’s also an introvert.

He traveled to Costa Rica at the age of 23, one of his first international trips and decided to do a formal tour group, specifically so he wouldn’t be alone. According to 23 year-old Matt: “Traveling alone? That’s crazy talk!”

On this trip, Matt had an aha moment: Travel creates an opportunity for a fresh start and to break away from the weights, perceptions and history of home.

“In Costa Rica, I became the man I always wanted to be.” –Matt Kepnes

How to Bond with Anyone with Dr. Paul Zak

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 02:35:00 -0000

How do you bond with someone? As part of our series, World’s Most Interesting People, I chatted with Dr. Paul Zak, neuroeconomist, teacher and author of Trust Factor and The Moral Molecule. We think we’re normal, and our neighbor across the street is strange, but what do they think about us?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

*What exactly a neuroeconomist is and Dr. Zak’s way to find out other people’s “weirdness”
*Dr. Zak’s discovery moment of the power of oxytocin and this chemical's “golden rule” function
*How to stimulate oxytocin in the brain in both your professional interactions and causal encounters
*The most effective and scientifically-proven pick-up line
*How to give someone the gift of being present in a conversation
*Dr. Zak’s Love+ Rule of being open-hearted and of service to others
*The research study that changed Dr. Zak’s life (hint: it involved blood and no running water)
*How to connect deeply with others by snapping out of autopilot and articulating observed emotions

And get the answers to:

*What is oxytocin and why is it so powerful? Why should we be obsessed with this chemical?
*What is your go-to opener in an elevator?
*What are 3-4 best ways to activate oxytocin?
*Can the memory of a positive encounter release oxytocin?
*What’s something you used to believe but no longer do?
*What’s your biggest piece of advice for newbies interacting with people?

Are you an overthinker? I am...wait am I? Maybe I am, but maybe I'm not. Oops...I'm doing it again. John Acuff blew my mind in this video. What soundtracks do you have on repeat in your head?

How to Get Out of The Friend Zone in 4 Steps (With Science!)

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:30:00 -0000

Let me guess - you're stuck in the friendzone or don't know you're friendzoned. Either way, I've been there. First, what is the friendzone? The Friend Zone is a relationship status between 2 people that is exclusively non-romantic. Usually, one party is friend-zoned and that person usually wants to “get out” of the friend zone by becoming a potential romantic partner. And let me tell you... If you're stuck in the friendzone, you'll want to get out asap! Luckily, I've studied human behavior and know exactly what makes people tick that I want to share in this comprehensive video tutorial.

Stay in the steps, let yourself marinate - because the longer you stay in each step, the better of a catch you'll be (and you can say goodbye to that friendzone!). So whether you're in the friendzone with a guy, a girl, or even through an online video/text/digital relationship... Here's how to get out of the friendzone the right way!

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 22:30:00 -0000

What are the qualities that make a good friend...as an adult?

What makes a bad friend? And more importantly, what kind of friend are you?

You likely know at least one person who is this type of friend. Want to know more tips?

How to argue better and resolve conflicts without being miserable with Buster Benson

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 18:30:00 -0000

Arguing can be frustrating ... but it doesn't have to be! Luckily, there's a better way to argue. If you're wondering how to win an argument, I invite you to change the way you think. Don't ask yourself, "How do I win?" Ask yourself, "How do WE win?"

Productive disagreement is a handy tool in your conflict resolution toolkit. Use it. No—REALLY use it, because the best arguments are where both people end up winners (or at least, the other person doesn't feel like they've totally failed at putting their socks on).

In this video, I invited argument expert Buster Benson @busterbenson7413 . He's the author of the book, "Why Are We Yelling?: The Art of Productive Disagreement" and a master at having good arguments.

Check out this video to learn more, and buy the book here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P1MH869/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 or visit Buster's website here: https://busterbenson.com/

4:43 - Why arguments are NOT bad and how you can benefit from them
6:31 - Why avoiding arguments can be a huge mistake
8:32 - How to make your arguments better
10:40 - How to prepare when meeting disagreeable people
15:50 - The one question you must ask to understand people better
16:29 - What is a big misconception about arguments?
17:52 - How to truly win any argument

How to Fight Boredom

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 14:19:05 -0000

In this video, I'm going to show you the signs of boredom and how to snap someone out of it. It can be difficult to overcome boredom but you can use non verbal communication and read body language to know if someone is bored. One challenge is that the more smart and socially adept a person is, the better he is at hiding boredom.

ScienceofPeople.com presents a lab chat about spotting and hunting down boredom body language. For more tips, visit:

Do You Ever Feel Like People Are Talking About You Behind Your Back?

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 10:08:10 -0000

Are people talking behind your back? I have this little problem: I tend to think that people are talking about me behind my back. It’s totally paranoid and ridiculous, but I wanted to know if I was alone. We all had the horrible feeling of being hurt when you discover that someone was talking about you behind your back.

So, I asked our Twitter followers if they agreed with this statement: “I often think people are talking about me behind my back.” There is science to back up this paranoia. For more on the science, check out our article HERE: https://www.scienceofpeople.com/gossiping/

Do you have the same paranoia as me? Leave your comments in the section below, I'd love to hear from you.

Can You Make Your Voice Sound Better? Use the Science of Vocal Power

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 13:16:21 -0000

Can you make your voice sound better? How to make your voice sound more attractive? When preparing for public speaking events, most people carefully plan out what they are going to say, wear, what presentation aids they are going to use and even what body language they are going to display. The one thing that people often forget to take care of is their voice.

Research shows that people decide how trustworthy or dominant you are within seconds of hearing your voice. With judgements being made that fast, you don’t have time to warm up in your presentation.

Whether you’re a rising public speaker trying to improve your reputation and land more events or if you’re striving to become a more influential leader at work, the key to making people listen to and remember what you have to say is mastering your public speaking voice.

Want more details on basic vocal warm up exercise?

The Science of Emotions

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 05:57:16 -0000

Interested in the science of emotions? How do emotions work? I’ve always been fascinated by how our emotions work. To me, it intuitively seemed like they’re all in our heads. I thought that all we needed to do to understand our emotional states and to get out of them was logic. My perspective changed when I read an amazing study by Aalto University that revealed that we experience our feelings in different and specific parts of our body.

I hope this video is helpful to you! Be sure to give it a thumbs up if you like it =)

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

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?

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)

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 08:16:21 -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

Color Psychology: Understanding How Color Choices Affects Our Behavior

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 01:46:21 -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
