"Anxiety and excitement are very similar emotions, the only difference is the mindset" this is gold ❤️
-
instead of: 1. what do you do? 2. where are you from? 3. how are you? try: 1. working on anything exciting these days? 2. have any vacations coming up? 3. anything good happen today. this is gold.

she's basically teaching everyone how to do ted talk the most effective way on stage. she's amazing!

I really hate it when someone politely asks you a question and you can tell by their dead eyes and posture they really don't care what the answer is, even before you've started speaking.

Completely remembered why I used to be so confident. I was so much fun! I was unpredictable, funny, goofy and knew it. Anymore, I'm thinking my losses have stolen those things and that's why I'm alone so much. I need to remember myself and be more positive. Thanks for this Vanessa!

"you are contagious",the whole of 2020 and 2021 summed up.

"If we show up to events we are ambivalent about, interact with people we don't really like, we become less memorable." This sentence will stay with me. Exceptionally good talk.

psychology is soooo interesting and amazingly useful.

Totally random, but she is killing this dress. She looks great!
-
This woman's clarity kills me! Her words are so clear..

Takeaway: open hands, dopamine-worthy conversation and authentic smile makes your more memorable and viral for sure..☺️

Her presence already made me excited. Her aura her spirit and her enthusiasm, they're definitely contagious. And for those looking for going viral kind of thing, what matters is she did her best and you could see it. Real life events don't look for statistical figures but more on meaningful impact. Love her already.

She’s awesome. The “looking at nothing” study was hilarious. I’m going to try that.
-
I’ve never seen anyone that looked and presented themselves so genuine that not once did I feel a negative or an uncomfortable emotion while watching this!! I REALLY like her energy:)
-
Did she just teach me PEOPLE skills in 3 simple ways? OMG!!! I am going to start asking those questions!!!!!
-
I saw her in real life before she released her book. She's has a very genuine personality.

Awkward girl blossomed into a brilliant, beautiful, sincere lady 😉

Such an entertaining and informative talk! My takeaways: - our emotions are contagious, so others will pick up on how we feel - facial expressions + body language can be THE TRIGGER for your emotional reality, instead of just vice versa! - frame dialogue/questions in terms of positive words instead of negative or empty ones. - all this makes me realize, I need to do power poses + affirmations more!

Guys, while reading the comments you will notice something : There's no hateful comments. At all. And I know it because I've read them all. So this is true : This lady has increased our dopamine, we all feel happy and excited ! Let's show this to the whole world 😉💪🏻
