Try A Power Pose and Share the Science

This topic is very relevant to you if you want to have better outcome in your life.

Your body language shapes who you are

Powerful people tend to be more assertive, more confident, more optimistic, and tend to think more abstractly. They take more risks.
Physiologically there are also differences in their key hormones - testosterone (dominance) and cortisol (stress).
Research shows that high-power alpha males in the primate hierarchies have high testosterone and low cortisol, and powerful effective leaders also have high testosterone and low cortisol.
Power is not only about dominance, it's also about how you react to stress.
Role changes can shape the mind.
Can power posing for a few minutes really change your life in meaningful ways?
It's not about the content of the speech, it's about the presence they bring into the speech. Presence - confident, authentic, comfortable, captivating, enthusiastic, passionate.
Our bodies change our minds, and our minds change our behaviour, and our behaviour changes our outcomes.
When you're in the position of being self-disbelieving, you need to learn how to fake it until you make it, and eventually become it.
Don't fake it until you make it, fake it until you become it.
Tiny tweaks can lead to big changes.

Here's the message:

Try a power pose and share the science.
