Your body language shapes who you are
Amy Cuddy:
human are really fascinated with other people's body language
when we think body language we think about communication & When we think about communication, we think about
interactions.
Sweeping judgments and inferences are made from body language
those judgments can predict important outcomes like who we
hire or promote
Apart from audience
there is one more person affected by your body language
when we feel powerful we open up, we tend to expand our self
And when we feel powerless We do exactly the opposite. We close up. We wrap ourselves up. We make ourselves small.
Every one knows that our minds change our bodies, but can our bodies change our minds ?
when you pretend to be powerful, you actually feel
powerful
2 minutes of power posing
Increases risk taking capabilities
Increases in testosterone which depicts dominance
Decreases in cortisol which depicts reaction to stress
Two minutes leads brain to be assertive, confident,
comfortable and stress-reactive
Tiny tweaks can lead to big changes
So Fake it till
you become
it
recap • Our bodies can change our minds • When we pretend to be powerful, we actually
feel powerful • 2 min power posing before anything important
leads to remarkable results • Tiny tweaks can lead to big changes
