Your body “talks” and it frequently communicates unintended messages that weaken the impact of your actual content and story. Your mouth is saying one thing, but the audience is picking up that you are nervous or not sure of what you are saying or, worse, not interested in them Your anxieties may be normal, but they can be fatal to your success. What can you do? Happily, the latest Harvard body chemistry research shows how you can strengthen your body language impact with just one simple exercise.
Amy Cuddy is Professor and Researcher at Harvard. Her own unique history which involved a serious head injury from a car crash and her studies of non-verbal behavior led her down an unusual path to a concept known as “power posing.” She takes “fake it till you make it” to a new level. I particularly like her new exercise because it adds fresh science to many of the techniques I have seen work in my own seminars.
Watch her tell her story and explain the exercise. Click here.
