The presentation is based on popular TED talk by Ammy Cuddy on How your body language shapes who you are.

1. Mind you body, It too has a
Language.
-Ammy Cuddy

2. Does body
Language
really
matters??

3. It hell
does!

4. Body language
is Non-verbal
Behavior
It is a language, so we can think
of it as a mode of Communication
or Interaction Which can lead to
sweepy judgments and
inferences
Or Can predict outcomes of
decisions like
Whom to ask on date or whom
to promote or hire

5. Here’s
some facts
that can
amaze
you!!!!!

6. Judgment of
faces of political
candidates for
one predicts 70%
of US senate
30 second
soundless clip of
physician treating
patient can decide
whether he will be
sued!!!!

7. Thus your
Non-verbal
Expressions
have much
more significant
effects…..

8. Not only on others but also on
you!

9. Expressions of Power Dominance.
It’s about Opening up. Humans tend to open up
their hands when they feel the presence of power.
This is the universal and old expressions of
power

10. Body language
is a
characteristic
trait of not just
Primates but is
common all
across Animal
Kingdom

11. What do we do when we feel
powerless?
We close up, we wrap ourselves
up!!

12. This is what
happens when
opposite
powers
interact!!!!
They behave in
such a way that
their poses
complement each
others.

13. Our Non Verbals not only govern
how others think and feel about
us!

14. But also how
we ourselves
Think about
us!!!!!!

15. Here’s a test conducted
where individuals were
asked to take High and Low
Power positions and the
result of this analysis gave

16. High Power
Positions

18. Results
!

19. Here’s what happened when people
were asked to take a particular
position for a span of 2 minutes.
Risk tolerance (Willingness to Gamble) in High power
position exceeded low power position by 43.33%
Body language
position
Testosterone Cortisol
High Power
Position
Increased by 20% Decreased by 10%
Low Power Position Decreased by 25% Increased by 15%

20. Body and Mind are co-
ordinated in reverse ways as
well!Therefore, Not only,
Mind Govern
s
Body
Language
But also
Body
Language
Govern
s
Mind

21. So can you really change
your life in meaningful ways
by power posing for few

23. You can use it in
evaluative
situations of
social conflicts
like Lunchroom
table, School
parent meeting or
Job interviews!!!!

24. So it’s less about the content of the speech and
more about the Presence you bring to the
speech
Presence
Enthusiastic
Captivating
Confortable
Authentic
Confident
Passionate

25. Our bodies change our minds, our
mind changes our behavior, and our
behavior changes our outcomes

26. So in orderSo, if you think
it’s fake,
Then better
fake it till you
make it
If you still
think it’s fake,
Then better
fake it till you
Become it.

27. tiny tweaks like
power posing for
2 minutes can lead
to BIG
CHANGES.

28. So next time you go for a job interview and
if you are quite stressed and not feeling
confident enough, then just rush to the
nearest restroom!

29. And
pose like
this!
