HEY!
What are you doing right now?
Are you slouching or hunching?
(Or making yourself smaller in any way
imaginable ;) )
If yes you should know,
Good Posture can do wonders
for you.
(Yeah no kidding) Lets check it out …….
Nonverbal behavior is the
science of …
Oh, ” Nonverbal behavior or body
language, as its commonly called, is
the study of effects of our body’s
state, movement or action on
ourselves and others “
It includes many things like :-
1. Smile
2. Hug
3. Glance
4. Wink
5. Handshake
6. etc
Judging Peoples Nonverbals
We get influenced
and effected by
observing other
person’s nonverbals
1. Effect on our judgment
We make sweeping judgments and
inferences from body language
Why?
Because it’s the fastest way to know somebody.
By observing body language we can
predict -
a. the chances of a physician getting sued
b. the outcome of senate elections
OH
YES!
2. Effect of our own nonverbals on
ourselves
Our thoughts, feelings, physiology get affected
Amy is interested in power dynamics
i.e. nonverbal expressions of power
and domination
So what exactly are they?
Animals expand or open up
When people win or achieve
something they do the same thing
On the other hand
on being powerless
people close up or shrink
On seeing an opposing power we
don’t mirror it we complement it
(It becomes an act of
submission)
So is there any way to fix it,
any way to overcome it ?
Q . Do our nonverbals govern
our thinking ?
AND THE ANSWER IS …
It works both ways
(Action )
(being or doing)
powerful / happy
spread body / smile
(Effect)
(feeling)
spread body / smile
powerful / happy
INTERCONNECTIVITY
What is a Powerful Mind?
A person who is - assertive,
confident, optimistic,
risk taker and has an
abstract thinking is said to
have a powerful mind
A powerful mind has
TESTOSTERONE CORTISOL
(dominance hormone) (stress hormone)
We want a person who is
POWERFUL
ASSERTIVE
DOMINANT
NOT STRESS
REACTIVE
LAID BACK
AN EXPERIMENT’s RESULTS
High power pose condition Low power pose condition
 86% gamble
 20% increase in
testosterone
 25% decrease in
cortisol
 60% gamble
 10% decrease in
testosterone
 15% increase in
cortisol
Our concern is this -
“But I feel like a fake,
a fraud, an imposter “
Self doubt creeps in
Solution to that is not
Fake it till you make it
But fake it ‘til you become it
People change
Change is part of life
So change for the better
tiny tweaks -> BIG CHANGES
THANK YOU!
