A great presentation about ‘power posing’ as a way to lower cortisol levels and increase confidence. Some promising research has come out and no drugs necessary! 🙂
Amy Cuddy is a professor and researcher at Harvard Business School, where she studies how nonverbal behavior and snap judgments affect people from the classroom to the boardroom. And her training as a classical dancer (another skill she regained after her injury) is evident in her fascinating work on “power posing” — how your body position influences others and even your own brain.
