Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are
What is your body language communicating to me and what is mine communicating to you?
Why body language is important?
Nonverbal expressions of power and dominance:
Stretch out and take up space, opening up
Nonverbal expressions of powerlessness:
Wrap ourselves up, make ourselves small
This is what happens when you put together high and low power
High Power: expands more and more
Low Power: becomes smaller and smaller
Our nonverbals govern how people think and feel about us
But..
Do our nonverbals govern how we think and feel about ourselves
Testosterone
Cortisol
Testosterone
Cortisol
High Power People have
Low Power People have
Let’s do an experiment.
Perform high power poses for 2 minutes..
Now perform low power poses for 2 minutes..
RESULTS

Can power posing for a few minutes really change our life in significant way?
What do you do before going to an interview
Stick to your phoneWorrying
constantly
Reading magazine
take some time alone andperform high power poses
But actually you should do this
NoNot this
We want to hire these High Power People
We don’t want to hire these Low Power People
RESULT
Don’t fake it till you make it,fake it ‘til you become it.
tiny tweaks can lead to big changes
Don’t feel like I did not show them who I am, Be like oh I really got to show them who I am.
