Vanessa Van Edwards reacts to a misleading headline calling her "I talk too much" from a Dawn: Diary of a CEO episode. Her book Conversation actually teaches how to speak more effectively, and she points out the irony of the label while defending her verbosity.
I'm just laughing looking at this screenshot. I was super excited for this episode of Dawn: Diary of a CEO to come out, and then when I saw that this is the headline they chose— I talk too much. So like, just the comedy of this being the headline. By the way, it's not even what the interview is about. We have like a small section in the interview about it. I have one little chapter in the middle of my book about it, but I'm just like, oh my gosh. Like me telling people they're talking too much? Me? I'm the most verbose person I know. So yeah, like take it with a grain of salt. The video is actually about talking more. My entire book is called Conversation. It's literally about how to talk more. So anyway, don't let this thumbnail throw you off. And also like pot calling the kettle black. Like I talk too much and like it's okay. Well, listen to it, you'll hear. One more thing also, what even is a likability expert? I've never called myself that before in my life, but I was like, okay, like, let's try it.
