Based on TEDx talk“Your body
language shapes who you are”
AMY CUDDY’s
SOCIAL SCIENTIST CALL BODY LANGUAGE
NON-VERBALS
We make sweeping judgments based on other people’s BODY LANGUAGE
body language Can predict really meaningful life outcomes
WHO WE HIRE?WHO WE
PROMOTE?
WHO WE ASK OUT ON A DATE?
But we are also influenced by our non-verbals.
Which one are
you?
AMY CUDDY studied Power Dynamics
RESULT…
Expression of power in animal kingdom
expanding
In humans
But when we feel powerless we tend to make ourselves smaller
We compliment other’s non-verbals.We don’t mirror them, we do the opposite.
Amy Cuddy observed her MBA students and noticed that they exhibit the full range of power dynamics.There are some who come in, stand in the middle and occupy space whereas there are some who virtually collapse when they come in and make them selves tiny.
She also noticed that this is related to gender. Women feel chronically less powerful than men.
Our non-verbals govern how we think
and feel about
OURSELVES
Can we FAKE
ITUntil weMAKE IT ?
Now she wanted to know
She studied the level of
TESTOSTERONE AND CORTISOL
EXPERIMENT time
People were called in and asked either to take high power poses or low power poses for two minutes and then were asked to gamble. After this, there saliva samples were taken.
RISK TOLERANCE

Testosterone change

Cortisol Change

Therefore our bodies change our minds
Can power posing for a few minutes really change our life in meaningful ways ?
YES! before any socially evaluative situation
Do a higher power pose in private before going for it, only for 2 minutes, and you will feel powerful and confident.
Our bodies change our
minds, our minds change our
behavior, and our behavior changes
our outcomes.
But a few people have said that they feel FAKE, they feel
that it is not them…. Like they don’t belong there
