A great actress i Denmark once said: Walk into a room, thinking about a random secret you have or find one up, to make your mind calm and make you seem as if you’re a bit mysterious. It’ll make you way more interesting, for those who watch u. And it makes wonders!!

[NathalieLazo]

Hey YOU, incredible person reading this...The truth is you are confident and good enough already with who you are, where you are at and what you have right now to have the success you want in life. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn that skill and go after it! I believe in you so much! Have an awesome day! - Love, Nat ❤️

I actually find in particular - because there is one friend of mine who I feel walks purposeful (because I've studied her a little bit) and it's not so much her walk it's because she has good posture her walk comes naturally. Her back is always straight, she never slumps and holds herself well. I wouldn't say she's charismatic, she's more of an introvert but she's got good social skills, she's her own boss in the job she does so she would need this to be successful as she is and it's just her good graces make her look like she's somebody in charge. I don't feel she's like bouncing full of confidence, it's more of a quiet confidence within herself that she's comfortable with who she is and because of that I feel comfortable around her. She doesn't have to be loud or make her presence known but over time of knowing her she does open and chat more and is interested in getting to know me.

This was great Van… much appreciated. I can definitely relate to scanning the room upon arrival. I personally don’t run in circles. Meaning, at events I don’t go to and stick with that “one” circle of people. I can go up to strangers and make them feel comfortable. However, prior to that, as I walk up to them… total stranger. I am looking for a conversation piece…(an accessory, nice shoes or outfit). Then I spark it up… very important that flirting and setting vibes are distinguished, lol. Like making an entrance greeting someone and telling them how sexy their top or tight pants look….no no. In and out method. Say your hello’s, small but tasteful compliments and you keep it pushing. I also intertwine what I learn from your videos. Keep improving lives😜

My friends name is Sarah! She’s literally the kindest, and most social person I’ve meet. Hanging out with her is what has pushed me to be more social and watch videos like this, so hearing her name shocked me lol

Your videos give me so much confidence. After watching this, I feel like I could go into any job interview without preparation and still get a job offer often enough that I wouldn't need to ever worry about unemployment.

I wish that people would run an experiment, where 1 person would go though a bunch of interviews without preparing, and then see how many job offers he would get, whereas a control group would go through modern interview preparation training and use the training and see how many job offers that they would get.

Even just watching you in this video makes me comfortable with hiring you [disclaimer: I have never interviewed or hired anybody].

[alexanderlyon]

Excellent video. The tips are as concrete as they get! Love the personality and positive energy, too. Every moment had added value.

[claudiapm]

For years I have been unaware that I’ve been doing these type of things(I’m a Virgo so physical appearance and first impressions are very important to me), my goal is to be able to last at least 2 hrs at a event without getting exhausted by everyone’s energy 😪

LOVE This and so helpful ❤️ What about a video on dealing with unreceptive and negative cues received by people when you try to be open? Love all that your doing and thanks so much.

[ewoods]

This video just reminds me that I am an introvert deep inside. 😊 I was getting anxiety just watching what I should be doing when I am around people. I immediately thought that's doing too much and I would be faking it. However, I would like to work on my social skills, maybe one step at a time. 🥴

I would like to thank u so much for various videos u have available on here. It helps me see things more clearer and encourages me to become a better me. ❤️🙏🏼

[linmonPIE]

I love watching your videos! I’ve learned so much from them! I wonder if you could do a video on how to converse with people after being in a funk for a long time? So many conversations center around what we’re doing, where we’re going, what’s new and what’s happening in our lives. I struggle with this because if I’m honest, I’ve been depressed for a long time and I haven’t done anything new and exciting or anything worth talking about for quite a while so I don’t know how to connect with others without bringing the mood down. I’ve tried doing things like learning a few new skills but it still doesn’t seem like enough. I’m not one of these “young professionals” who leads a full, busy life but I hope to one day be there now that my depression has lifted a bit. I just don’t know how to get from this wreckage of a life to one I’m proud of. Please help 🙏🙏🙏

[DariusLong]

Great Video Vanessa! You had me with the wwe clips, lol. Thanks for breaking down the aspect of A great entrance 😄

[timez]

I like that Jeff Winger example. I love Community.

[Christina-yugu]

Got your book! 💙🦋 Valuable. I wish I had this info 20 years ago.

[hanin]

Really enjoyed this, I love youso much Vanessa, you're helping with your videos and I love your sparkling and humorous personality, keep going! 🙏🏼❤✨

[Bethanyspalding]

Oh my gosh. I have been LOVING your videos. Just what an awkward adult like myself has been needing all my life!;)
Do you offer any courses/boot camps/challenges?

[sharonk.]

…just sending you love! You showed up in my feed this morning. I will get your new book! I read the other one a few years ago. You look fabulous.

[VIATEXAS]

Lol. I enter a room almost like that except kissing anyone’s hand. I love this. 😁

[EJK]

Thanks Vanessa, I'll make sure I know my purpose the next time I walk into a room. I wear a black fitted suit and that makes up 90% of my charisma. I enjoyed "Captivate" and I am looking forward to reading "Cues". : )

Happy Women's Day to all women :)
