1
Is there anything else that, you know, people accidentally do that holds them back from being someone of high aura?
2
Yes.
3
They try to be impressive.
4
People that have aura and riz.
5
Oh, yeah.
6
How does one cultivate aura and riz?
7
Okay.
8
I think aura and riz, and the only reason this is front of mind is, is my daughter asked me,
9
she heard one of my YouTube videos, and she said, what is charisma?
10
She asked me that.
11
And I was like, ooh, like she's eight.
12
They said, charisma or riz or aura is someone that you really want to be around.
13
It's when they walk into a room, you want to go over and talk to them.
14
You want to sit near them.
15
You want to listen to them.
16
You want to work with them.
17
You want to play with them.
18
And I said, do you know anyone like that?
19
And she goes, oh, yes.
20
And she named, so interesting, she named two kids in her class that I had already identified as very charismatic.
21
Like, in my mind, I knew who the charismatic kids were in her class.
22
I had popped them, right?
23
I saw them.
24
They were the kids that you really wanted to be around.
25
They have this aura about them.
26
And she named those exact two kids.
27
So I think that that definition works.
28
It's someone that we are drawn to verbally, physically.
29
I think also some of it can be physical.
30
And there's something hormonal there as well.
31
But it's someone we're drawn to.
32
Okay, so based on the 20 years of research you've done.
33
Yes.
34
If you were trying to teach me to have aura and riz, what are like the basics?
35
Be really easy to talk to.
36
Okay.
37
Right.
38
So the point of level one is to put someone at ease.
39
We like to be around people who are, one, clearly signaling.
40
We don't like people who are mute with their body language.
41
We don't like people who under signal.
42
We like people who clearly like us.
43
Right.
44
So we have to be very allowed with our liking.
45
So saying things like, it's always so fun talking to you.
46
Or, oh, you always have the best stories.
47
Oh, you always make me laugh.
48
I love when you're put on my team.
49
So clearly signaling like and verbally.
50
I think there's something called signal amplification bias, which is this bias that we have that we think we're being really obvious with our cues,
51
but we are not, in fact, being obvious.
52
We think that people know that we like them.
53
Of course they know that we like them.
54
But actually people underestimate liking, right?
55
The liking gap.
56
So we like people who are very clearly broadcasting likes.
57
And I have a funny story, if I may.
58
So this hit very close, embarrassingly, to home.
59
Because of my job, I don't know if this happens to you, my friends often ask me to suss out their partners, like potential partners.
60
So like a friend will be like, hey, I met a new guy.
61
Can you go out dinner with us and tell me what you think?
62
Does that hit you all?
63
Absolutely not.
64
Oh my.
65
You're like, nobody asks me.
66
No. So I get this a lot.
67
And by the way, I'm just a regular person.
68
So I'm always like, are you sure you really want to know what I'm...
69
Yes, so I go on a lot of like second
70
or third little ghosty coffee dates to suss out the guy or gal.
71
I bet you love that.
72
It makes me feel needed.
73
It makes me feel needed.
74
Okay.
75
I also love eavesdropping on like the date conversation.
76
So she said, I really want you to meet this guy.
77
Let's call him Schmobbert.
78
Okay?
79
Okay.
80
Okay.
81
And so we go on this dinner and we have like a Mediterranean platter and he was okay.
82
You know, I was like, okay, he's nice.
83
But I wasn't like, green flag, green flag, you know?
84
It's kind of like, meh.
85
So the next day I get the call.
86
She's like, hey, what did you think?
87
And I'm about to say, it's only okay when she goes, you know what?
88
He just loved you.
89
I was like, oh, what?
90
She said, oh, you know, he thought you were so funny, and he already bought your Audible book, and he just loved talking to you.
91
Like, the most, I started to like him more.
92
Like, it was so embarrassing, because as she was telling me all these things about how he liked me, I was like, you know,
93
that Schmaubert, he is a great guy.
94
He's clever.
95
He's so smart.
96
He liked my, he liked my jokes, really?
97
She's like, yeah, he just really had a good time with you.
98
And I felt like I liked him more in that moment.
99
And I was horrified by my own response.
100
And I realized we so want to be liked that when someone clearly signals liking, it makes us like them more, right?
101
So we can be charismatic.
102
One is we send clear signals of liking.
103
But also two, and we talked about this a little bit last time,
104
is fundamentally 82 % of our impressions of people are based on warmth and competence.
105
So people who are first and is first signaling, I'm open, I'm friendly, and then competent,
106
I'm capable, I'm efficient, I'm effective, make us feel like I'm in good hands.
107
In this way, every human being we first meet, we're trying to answer two questions.
108
Can I trust you?
109
And can I rely on you?
110
So the second thing that charismatic people are doing is they're signaling, you can trust me, and you can rely on me.
111
I'm going to get it done.
112
I'm going to only speak when I know something.
113
I'm going to be assertive.
114
I'm going to.. carry us through this conversation.
115
I think that sort of this came after cues in a good way because cues is very much about picking your signals,
116
but conversation is about being a bit assertive about the plan, right?
117
Like if you read this book, you are going to feel in control in conversation.
118
You're gonna feel like you're approaching a conversation and you know what you wanna do if you have intention.
119
We like that.
120
Charismatic people like, they carry us, right?
121
Like they're like, we got this, we're gonna do level, I'm gonna ask about this, I'm gonna do dream killing, And if I like you,
122
if I like you, we're gonna talk about your character."
123
And so I think that that plan is a secret door into charisma.
124
Is there anything else that, you know, people accidentally do that holds them back from being someone of high aura?
125
Yes.
126
They try to be impressive.
127
Now, I know we talked about this before, but here's what happens when you go into the conversation trying to sound smart,
128
trying to impress people with your accolades and your background is you actually end up creating distance.
129
I was in Austin and I was invited to this VIP party and I was like, oh man, like what, why am I being invited?
130
Like so imposter syndrome.
131
So we get there and I'm like, oh, I know that person's YouTube channel.
132
Like I know that person, like the people I immediately recognized.
133
And I'm like, whoa.
134
And then of course, like within the first five minutes, the leader of this group says,
135
we're going to get in a circle and we are going to introduce ourselves.
136
And this is like, So we get in a circle, and the first person basically is like,
137
I'm a billionaire, and I invented the internet, or something like that.
138
And the second person is like… I would love to know what they actually said.
139
That's what you heard.
140
That's what you heard.
141
That's what I heard.
142
I was like, great.
143
I invented the internet.
144
Like, it was so impressive, it hurt, you know?
145
And I was like, okay, okay.
146
It was the first person, is that right?
147
The second person is like, I cured cancer.
148
Right?
149
Like, amazing.
150
And it was just like person after person.
151
It was like getting more and more impressive.
152
And like it's slowly coming to me.
153
And I was like, everyone was trying to be impressive, right?
154
Like they were saying things that were meant to shock and wow and awe you.
155
It gets to me and I was like, my name is Vanessa and I'm a recovering awkward person.
156
And I help smart awkward people with my books and my YouTube channel.
157
And everyone laughed and took a deep breath.
158
Now, I have other accolades that I could have shared, but I was like, it's nothing in comparison.
159
And also, I just wanted to be a little vulnerable.
160
So I said, and I don't know why I was invited to this party.
161
And everyone laughed, right?
162
There's like a little bit of vulnerability.
163
Every single person after me said, I'm a recovering awkward person.
164
So like they also were able to feel awkward.
165
So it changed the nature of the rest of the invites, the rest of the introductions.
166
And then afterwards, the circle like breaks up for networking and most people came over to me, not the billionaire, not the cure of cancer,
167
not the saving the earth climate change guru, but wanted to talk to me about awkwardness and about my YouTube channel and about they're smart,
168
but they feel uncomfortable.
169
And I realized like I was just the easiest person to talk to in that circle.
170
So I think that I just share that because we don't have to put so much pressure on ourselves to be impressive.
171
In fact, the really impressive people, I don't know, I haven't met that many billionaires
172
But the ones I've met, like, most of them are quite humble.
173
And they're quite...
174
Like, they downplay how successful they are because they've already made it.
175
And so I think if we all just put less pressure on ourselves to just connect, that would be easier.
176
It does really track.
177
I was thinking about the people in my life that have aura, and they're not the people that are the most successful, the most accomplished.
178
They are...
179
They are the ones that you would most like to spend time with.
180
Yeah, they're easy.
181
For whatever reason, yeah.
182
Yeah, they're easy.
183
And by the way, it's back and forth.
184
Like, you can be introverted and extra.. or extroverted.
185
You don't, like people, I think, think that master conversationals are extroverted.
186
Actually, that's not usually the case.
187
Sometimes extroverts fall into their own traps with conversational narcissism.
188
Ambiverts and introverts do really well.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
