Body Language - Are you Power Posing?

Power Poses
This week in class we looked at how body language affects your state of mind and how you see others. The class was based on the following Ted Talk given by Amy Cuddy, social psychologist.

Rather like laughing, it has been scientifically proven that standing and sitting in positive (open) positions makes you feel more confident and powerful. Our non -verbal expressions actually do have an influence about how others view us and how we feel about ourselves. It is natural in the animal kingdom to express power and success with open body language

Watch the video and try some power posing before you go into stressful situations.
