How body language affect us.

1. YOUR
BODY
SHAPES
WHO YOU
ARE Based on TED talk
by Amy Cuddy

3. We are fascinated by body
language.
NON-VERBAL
communication ---
BODY LANGUAGE.
What is your body language
communicating to others
and vice versa.

4. An awkward handshake
An awkward interaction
An inappropriate wink

5. ALL Matters…
We make sweeping judgments from body language.
Whom we hire or promote Whom we will date

6. Non-verbal expression of
POWER and DOMINANCE
We feel powerful we expand up.
We feel powerless we wrap up.

7. Women feel chronically
less powerful than men.

8. Our non-verbals govern how
others think and feel about us
But
Do our non-verbals govern
how WE think and feel about
ourselves?

9. We smile when we feel happy.
If we are forced to smile by
holding pen in our teeth…
It make us feel happy.

10. When you pretend to be
powerful you start feeling
POWERFUL!!!

11. POWERFUL PEOPLE ARE
● ASSERTIVE
● CONFIDENT
● THINK ABSTRACTLY
● TAKE MORE RISK

12. TESTOSTERONE:
Dominance hormone
CORTISOL:
Stress hormone
Powerful people have high
testosterone and less cortisol.

13. Let us do an activity...
For two min. be in
each HIGH POWER
POSES and LOW
POWER POSES.

14. HIGH POWER
POSES

15. LOW POWER
POSES

19. Thus we observed…
Being in a high power pose
● We take more risk.
● Our testosterone level rises.
● Our cortisol level decreases.

20. So Power posing for few
minutes can really
change our lives in
meaningful ways.

21. OUR BODIES CHANGE OUR MINDS AND OUR
MINDS CHANGE OUR BEHAVIOUR AND OUR
BEHAVIOUR CHANGE OUR OUTCOMES.

22. If we try to FAKE being
powerful then we can surely be
more POWERFUL.

23. So before
anything
important like
an interview,
have a two
min. show of
WHO I AM.
Try a
POWER POSE.
because…
TINY TWEAKS
BIG CHANGES

24. Don’t FAKE till you make
it…
FAKE it till you
BECOME it.
