Power Pose
https://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are#t-212393
Amy Cuddy wasn’t supposed to become a successful scientist. In fact, she wasn’t even supposed to finish her undergraduate degree. Early in her college career, Cuddy suffered a severe head injury in a car accident, and doctors said she would struggle to fully regain her mental capacity and finish her undergraduate degree.
Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident -- can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.
What is your impression of "power posing"? Have you found yourself in circumstances where you feel power less? Do you think Power Posing could work for you? Or is it non-sense?
