Vanessa Van Edwards details what body language conveys leadership. She recounts how Nixon lost his presidential bid by looking ready to flee while injured, versus Kennedy's open yet grounded posture. Van Edwards explains appearing confident comes from taking up relaxed space, with distance between ear and shoulder signaling authority. She advises avoiding nervous gestures like crossed arms that physically and mentally constrict strategic thinking. Van Edwards suggests displacement tactics like props to break bad habits. By settling into place, using humility hands, and speaking louder to project vocal power, she describes nonverbals that feel and appear confidently in command.LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE!Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!
