Today, Cuddy is a professor and researcher at Harvard Business School, where she studies how nonverbal behaviour 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.
“Power
posing” -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel
confident -- can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and
might even have an impact on our chances for success.
Amy Cuddy’s research on body language reveals that we can
change other people’s perceptions — and even our own body chemistry — simply by
changing body positions.
