In this month's Basecamp, Madefor CEO Pat Dossett speaks with Dr. Vanessa Bohns, author and professor at Cornell University. They discuss why we underestimate our ability to influence, how we are unknowingly influencing others, and how to get what we want. Dr. Bohns also shares how we can engage the full potential of our words, actions, and presence to bring out the best in the world around us. 

Dr. Bohns is a social psychologist, an award-winning researcher and teacher, and a professor of organizational behavior at Cornell University. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, and NPR’s Hidden Brain. Her first book, You Have More Influence Than You Think, was just published in September of this year.
