If you’ve ever felt ineffective, invisible, or inarticulate, chances are you weren’t actually any of those things. Those feelings may instead have been the result of a lack of awareness we all seem to have for how our words, actions, and even our mere presence affect other people.
Talking us through it is this week’s guest, Professor Vanessa Bohns a social psychologist, award-winning researcher and teacher from Cornell University in the United States, on her book, ‘You Have More Influence Than You Think: How We Underestimate Our Power of Persuasion, and Why It Matters’. Vanessa wants to help us flip our internal script about how powerful our influence can be, and how we can harness this awareness for our own good and for the good of those around us. A super positive and heart-warming episode to help us all tackle the social demands of the silly season and beyond. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
