The Power

of Body

Language

Non-verbal language-> its a language->

Communication->Means Interaction.

Body Language also called Non-verbal language by some

social scientists

They influence us to take actions

like whom we hire or promote or

whom will we choose for our date

Numerous experiments have been done in past just to check this out which all had similar results-

THAT WE ALL ARE INFLUENCED BY NON-VERBALS

What is it all about?

POWER

&

DOMINATION

WE OPEN UP OUR BODY WHENEVER WE HAVE OPTIMISTIIC, CONFIDENT , DOMINATING OR

WINNING ATTITUDE

WE CONTRACT OUR BODY, OR CLOSE OURSELVES

WHEN WE ARE IN STRESS, WHEN WE ARE IN A LOSING SITUATION OR UNDER DOMINANCE

WOMEN GENERALLY HAVE MORE “CLOSED-UP” BODY POSES AS THEY FEEL THEMSELVES LESS POWERFUL OR

DOMINATING

Our non-verbals influence how

other people think and feel about us

THEBIG QUESTION

Do our non-verbals govern how we think and feel

about OURSELVES TOO??

YES, it has found out to be found true!!!!!!

Can really bring a real smile!

Feeling ourselves powerful ingenuinely can cause us to feel

real powerful!!!

Even addition of emoticons in online business negotiations can

impact on a BIG

Do our body can change our mind too?

Two hormones effect our action taking capabilities—

Testosterone- for THIS(confidence)

Cortisol- for THIS(stress)

Body language influences the LEVEL of these hormones which in turn SHAPES our

mind

High levels of Testosterone

levels and lower level of Cortisol levels

have seen in Leaders or

influential persons

Indirectly our mind body language can make us

Win even if we have low chances of winning

Optimistic, assertive & abstractive

Can make us take high risk actions

Where can we use it in our life?

Social threats

Job interview

Stress relieve

To make ourselves feel good & confident

or in many other ways, it’s universal!!

Don't fake it to make it!! But fake it until you

become it!!!

Remember, Just tiny tweaks can lead to BIG

differences in life

So, try a power pose &

share the science!
