“Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are” -Amy Cuddy

Body Language :
“The conscious and unconsciousmovements and postures by whichattitudes and feelings are communicated”
What are non-verbalexpressions of POWER ??
When we feel Powerless....
We withdraw from others....
Can non-verbals govern the way we think about our-self?
A pen between your teeth, forces a smile and you feel happy immediately.
When we pretend to be powerful,
We feel Powerful
So, how canwe pretend to be powerful??
Some high power poses that you can try...
High power poses can increase testosterone levels by
20%
And, reduce cortisol (stress reactant hormone) by
25%
Low power poses reduce testosterone levels by
10%
And make us more stress reactant by
15%
Our bodies change our minds.....
Our minds change our behaviour....
Our behaviour changes our outcome.
So, pump the power till you become the POWER
RECAP :-
•Our non-verbals can govern the way we think about ourselves.
•High power poses can make us feel more powerful and dominant
•Low power poses make us feel less dominant and powerless
•Our bodies can change our minds which can change our outcomes.
•Don’t fake it till you make it, fake it till you become it
