Your body language shapes who you are
Summary of a TED talk given by Amy Cuddy
(link on the last slide)
People are often interested in other people’s body language
And tend to
neglect their own
your body language affects you too
You can show your
power non
verbally
In the animal kingdom dominance is about
stretching and expanding
Same is the case
with humans
While when the case is opposite
And this is what happens when you put together people with
high and low power
Non verbal
dominance is
relatedto
gender
Men tend to be dominant over women
participation
People who participate more tend to be more
dominant
Our nonverbals govern how other people think and feel about us
but...
Do they govern how we feel about
ourselves
Can you fake it till
you make it
Or rather fake it till
you become it
Physiologically there are differences in two key
hormones between powerful and powerless
people
Testosterone (Dominance hormone)
Cortisol (Stress
hormone)
It is seen that powerful and effective leaders have high testosterone and low cortisol
Power is not just about dominance but also about stress management
It is also seen that power poses can cause a change in these hormones
Let us see an experiment
Volunteers are
asked for a saliva sample
Take a power pose for two
minutes
Gamble
Give another sample
Remember this guy ?
