Charismatic leaders effortlessly direct people’s emotions and thus heavily influence their decisions. Vaughn spent four decades developing a formula that will enable anyone to do the same. He teaches precise, specific, objective, nonverbal skills, but he does not teach people how to read body language, because reading body language is the act of following others in order to guess what they are thinking and feeling. Vaughn teaches people (you) how to Write Body Language, which enables you to get others to follow you. First Impressions HQ teaches people specific communication skills that enable them to effortlessly lead others – on conscious and subconscious levels – which is exactly what charismatic leaders do.

The first films I made were surfing films, starting when I was 13, shooting with an 8mm camera, and editing with a razor and Scotch Tape. Since those days, I’ve produced and directed countless shorts, and one feature-length film, “The Real Reason,” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160744/ a romantic comedy that premiered at Atlanta’s famous Fox Theater, but never received theatrical distribution.“…Mr. Vaughn's romantic comedy ''The Real Reason,'' which focuses on five men who commit assorted crimes out of devotion to beautiful women (hence the title). It includes some foreign-language wooing (with subtitles), an oenophilia theme and some high-flown discussion of the philosophies of Aristotle, Schopenauer and Kant.”The New York TimesBy LAWRIE MIFFLINPublished: June 17, 1998

WHAT Films was a production company that employed a unique system of script and film development that was based not just on artistic vision, but also on precise, statistical research and audience testing. [Ever the researcher.]WHAT Films is where I first began teaching CommuniKata concepts, though the system was not called that then; we just called the skills concepts. Media articles sometime referred to our concepts as our “method” – though it is the polar opposite of “Method Acting.” Step one at WHAT, was to create actors who were more efficient but just as captivating as those you see on the big screen. In just under 10 years, over 3,000 actors, writers, directors and producers learned the skills of CommuniKata and helped to test, shape and refine the system - many of the skills within are named for the WHAT actors who discovered them. During those years, people who studied at WHAT began to tell me that they were using CommuniKata concepts, at their “day jobs,” in every imaginable field and profession. “To Vaughn, all aspects of an actor's performance -- his movements, his posture, his expression, his delivery -- are like tuning knobs on a radio, easily adjusted to ensure the clearest reception. He believes his method guarantees continuity in an actor, so that whether it's the first take or the 50th, the WHAT actor will not falter. His method also takes the guesswork out of auditions, he says. "I teach the actors here to be so precise and so planned before they go in there that they no longer have to think about it. It becomes unconscious competence.’" WHAT the heck? | Cover Story | Creative Loafing AtlantaBy STEVE FENNESSYPublished: March 20, 2002Short and feature-length films created at WHAT screened at festivals in London, Los Angeles, Toronto, Berlin, Chicago, Austin, San Francisco, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Denver, Portland, Mumbai, Madras, Calcutta, Hong Kong, and cities in South Africa, Italy, Australia and Mexico.

I was never one of those kids who dreamed of being on the screen with movie stars, but that’s what happened. The story of how I left the field of gerontological research, then moved to Los Angeles and became a character actor https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0891203/ is a long (and dramatic) tale. During my acting days, I was honored to know, work with, and share the screen in movies and television with: Gabriel Byrne, Jim Carrey, Veronica Cartwright, John Castle, Keith Carradine, Harry Connick, Jr., Kevin Costner, Faye Dunaway, Barbara Hershey, Tom Hulse, Stacey Keech, Kevin Kline, Juliette Lewis, Laura Linney, E.G. Marshall, Steve Martin, Mary Tyler Moore, Joe Morton, Carroll O'Connor, Brad Pitt, Howard Rollins, (the legendary) Barbara Rush, Ricky Schroder, Lea Thompson, Blair Underwood, Sam Waterston and many wonderful people. I was honored to work with extraordinary producers and directors like John Frankenheimer, Alan J. Pakula, Joseph Sargent, and Peter Weir. In non-show business settings, I was truly privileged to get to know John Belushi, Barbara Billingsley, John Candy, Louise Fletcher, Ed Harris, Dustin Hoffman, Amy Madigan, Lee Marvin, Ben Vereen and others, During my decades of working and socializing with movie and television stars, I was not only able to discover the foundational essence of trust, I was also able to solve the riddle of the most enigmatic and most misunderstood of all human characteristics: Charisma. Since 1993, I have been teaching professionals in every imaginable field, exactly what they need to do to become more charismatic.
