SUMMARY:The Science of Charisma: First Impressions
DESCRIPTION:Location: Meet at Room 5-234 (Workshop will take place in Rooms 5-134 and 5-234.) \nYou only get one chance to make the right first impression. Within a few seconds\, people judge your level of intelligence\, trustworthiness\, friendliness and social success. This happens in an instant\, yet can impact the way you’re perceived from then on. How can you make sure you never miss\, especially when the stakes are high? \nThis practical workshop will give you concrete tools to make great first impressions both online and IRL\, using researched-based science on which actions are effective and why. (References and links to research papers will be shared at the end of the workshop.) You’ll learn exactly how to give a great handshake\, avoid the common pitfalls of the “engineer voice profile”\, emanate the body language of a good friend\, and discover how to select and use the mic and signal-compression technologies of online calls properly. \nLeaders: \nDr. Oliver Niebuhr is Associate Professor of Communication and Innovation at the University of Southern Denmark where he heads the Acoustics Lab in the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. His research specializes in charismatic communication. Professor Niebuhr has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed publications over the course of 20 years of research and is Exec Secretary of the International Phonetic Association. \nOlivia Fox Cabane is the bestselling author of The Charisma Myth\, which has been translated into 36 languages. Previously Director of Innovative Leadership for Stanford StartX\, she has lectured on charisma at Harvard\, Yale\, the Marine War College and the United Nations. Her clients include Deloitte\, UBS\, Google\, Tiktok\, and Airbnb. \n\nRegister for This Workshop\nAdd this workshop to your calendar using the “Add to Calendar” link below.
