I’m over the moon with how much support I’ve gotten since the announcement of my pre-order goal last month! If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, there’s just a few days left to help me reach my goal of getting 600 pre-orders before March 7!?

If you enjoy my newsletter, I hope you’ll consider grabbing a copy of Unforgettable Presence. It will have similar content to my newsletter—and much more! You’ll also unlock bonus content, including access to exclusive webinars like the one we had yesterday on communicating with more confidence on video, where we even included a live speed coaching session and answered so many of your great questions.

Grateful for all of you and your support!


Have you ever wanted to be one of those people others gravitate towards?

As a keynote speaker and trainer focused on teaching others about professional presence, I see this mistake all the time: We focus so much on what to say, and we forget that how we say it—without words—can be just as (if not more!) powerful.

We’ve all been on calls where it’s an energy suck. And we’ve also been on calls where the person brightens up your day. I think I can safely say we all want to be that second person!

One way you can do that is through a Duchenne smile!

A Duchenne smile is known as "the genuine smile" or "enjoyment smile.” Instead of just smiling with your lips, the Duchenne smile engages the muscles around the eyes and your face. ??

When you smile with your eyes, it sends a signal of real warmth and openness, making others feel more connected and comfortable around you.?

Practice this type of smile in your interactions—it’s a small change that can make a big impact on the energy in the physical or virtual room.

I share even more tips on how to leverage non-verbal communication (including the Duchenne smile) in Chapter 3 of my book, Unforgettable Presence: Get Seen, Gain Influence, and Catapult Your Career! Pre-order your copy today and receive $500+ of bonuses including exclusive access to live VIP webinars!

Ironically, I just learned this lesson from my 5-month-old daughter, Lorraine. The difference between when she smiles at my wife and I and when she smiles with her eyes is astounding. We both light up with the latter! Making a note to practice the Duchenne smile more often in my day-to-day interactions and video calls ??
