Body Language Shapes Who You Are

We all know that body language affects how others see us, but according to Dr. Amy Cuddy, Professor at Harvard Business School, it may also change the way we see ourselves.

In 2012, social psychologist, Dr. Amy Cuddy gave one of the best TED Talks I have every seen. If you have any interest in public speaking, you should definitely watch it.

Dr. Cuddy showed 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.
