Positive Leadership: The Body Language of Power
When people want to make an impression, most think a lot
about what they want to say.
Stanford University Business Professor Deborah Gruenfeld
cautions you to think twice about that approach.
The factors influencing how
people see you are surprising: Words account for 7% of what they take away,
while body language counts for 55%. There is a body language of power.
In this video, Gruenfeld introduces the body languages of authority and being approachable.
Becoming fluent in matching body language to each situation can be a source of
power and influence. Gruenfeld also shares leading social science research on
the ways in which body language affects your psychology, in addition to
influencing how others perceive you.

Positive Leadership: Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are
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.
