Body Language
This document discusses how body language can shape perceptions of ourselves and others. It notes that taking up more space through expansive, "high power poses" can increase testosterone and reduce stress hormones, making us feel more powerful. In contrast, closed, "low power poses" that make us feel smaller can reduce testosterone and increase stress levels. The document recommends adopting high power poses to physically and psychologically feel more dominant and confident over time.
Your body language shapes who you are by Amy Cuddy
Amy Cuddy discusses how body language can influence mindset and behavior. She conducted experiments showing that adopting expansive, powerful poses for two minutes increases testosterone and decreases cortisol, influencing people to feel more powerful and confident. When asked to engage in a risky gambling activity after posing, those who adopted high power poses were more likely to do so. She also found that posing high power before a stressful job interview improved performance. Our bodies can influence our minds, so taking on powerful poses in stressful situations can help configure our brain to feel more assertive and comfortable.
Amy Cuddy - Your body language shapes who you are
Amy Cuddy gave a TED Talk on how body language can shape people's perceptions. She discussed how expanding oneself and taking up more space can influence feelings of power and confidence both in oneself and in how others see you. Cuddy used examples from social science research on nonverbal communication as well as comparative pictures and personal stories to engage the audience. Her key points were that our nonverbal cues govern how people perceive us, our bodies can influence our minds, and our behaviors can impact our outcomes.

Body language and posture can significantly impact perceptions and outcomes. Research by Amy Cuddy showed that adopting expansive, powerful poses for two minutes causes increases in testosterone and feelings of power and decreases in stress hormone cortisol, influencing risk tolerance. These body changes then shape subsequent thoughts and behaviors. In one study, job candidates who adopted high-power poses before interviews were favored by interviewers more for their presence rather than the content of their responses. The research suggests that changing body language through power posing can change thoughts, behaviors, and ultimately life outcomes.
Feelings
The document discusses K. Chapman's definitions of common feelings like love, humor, peace, anger, fear, surprise, and happiness. K. Chapman associates feelings of love with family hugs and kisses, humor with family making them laugh, and peace with the family not fighting. Anger is felt when the family argues and fights, and fear when the family does not take their medication. Surprise comes from receiving presents from family, and happiness from the family getting along. The document also provides ways K. Chapman copes with feelings and expresses both good and bad feelings.
How to make people listen
This document discusses how to use your voice powerfully to engage listeners. It identifies seven "deadly sins" of speaking like gossiping or complaining that turn people off.

The goal is to help readers learn to communicate effectively and make their voice a powerful tool.
Assertiveness
The document discusses assertiveness as an important communication skill that is distinguished from aggression and passivity. It provides principles for being assertive, including expecting to be listened to, using physical presence and voice effectively, being prepared, creating rapport, choosing language carefully, remembering to thank others, and using humor appropriately. While some people find assertiveness difficult, with practice of these principles one can communicate confidently and respect others' boundaries.

Your Body Language shapes who you are
Based on TED talk of Amy Cuddy in which she shows how “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success
Your Body language shapes who you are
The document discusses how body language affects perceptions and the self. It notes that body language conveys powerful messages and judgments. While our minds can change our bodies, our bodies can also change our minds. Adopting "power poses" for two minutes, even if fake, can actually cause us to feel more powerful, assertive, and less stressed. Through tiny adjustments to body language, we have the power to influence our own self-perception and mindset.
The power of body language
This document summarizes Amy Cuddy's work on the power of body language and non-verbal communication. It discusses how our body language can influence how we think and feel about ourselves and how others perceive us. When we adopt expansive, open body poses we convey power and confidence, increasing testosterone and decreasing cortisol, whereas closed-up poses signal stress and lack of power. Simply changing our posture can boost our own feelings of confidence and influence outcomes, so we should utilize body language to our advantage, such as in job interviews or stressful situations, by "faking it until we become it."
Every body posture matter
The document discusses the importance of body language and non-verbal communication. It notes that every posture matters and people should observe the postures of those they interact with. Communication involves understanding what is not said verbally. Our non-verbal behaviors affect how others perceive us. The document recommends adopting high power poses rather than low power poses. It also advises people to "fake it till you make it" by acting confidently even if they do not feel that way initially in order to become more powerful over time. Powerful people are described as confident, certain, and able to think abstractly.

your body language shapes who you are
Body language communicates non-verbal messages that influence how we are perceived and how we perceive ourselves. Powerful body language such as expanding oneself shows pride, while closed body language indicates feeling powerless. Experiments show that adopting high power poses, such as standing tall and taking up space, increases confidence and feelings of power through impacting hormones, whereas low power poses decrease confidence. Therefore, posing in a high power way can help one feel more powerful when facing difficult situations.
Body language
This document discusses how body language can affect how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us. It notes that feelings of power are associated with expansive body language while feelings of powerlessness are associated with contracted body language. The document discusses an experiment that found doing "power poses", expansive body language, for two minutes can increase levels of testosterone and make one actually feel more powerful. It recommends adopting power poses before situations where we feel we will be judged to boost confidence and feelings of power.
Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are
Body language is a form of nonverbal communication through which thoughts, intentions and feelings are expressed physically through facial expressions, posture, gestures, eye movement, touch, and use of space. Physiological factors like hormones also influence how powerful or powerless one feels. Adopting powerful body language such as expansive poses can increase confidence and risk-taking behavior by boosting testosterone and reducing cortisol levels. Maintaining small, closed-off poses has the opposite effect.

Your body language shapes you by Deboleena Dutta
As Amy Cuddy explains 'How body language shapes who you are' and how you can fake it to improve your lives, I watch the video over and over again to adapt it into this presentation.
Fake it till you make it
Amy Cuddy's research found that our body language influences how we think and feel about ourselves. When we expand our bodies into powerful poses, our testosterone increases and cortisol decreases, making us feel more powerful and confident. Conversely, contracting our bodies into low power poses has the opposite physiological effect. Cuddy conducted an experiment where participants adopted either high or low power poses for two minutes before completing a task. Those who took high power poses first performed better and were more willing to take risks. Our bodies have the power to change our minds, and our minds can change our behaviors and outcomes. By adopting high power poses privately before important situations, we can boost our confidence.

Aditi Jain submitted a document to Professor Sameer Mathur discussing how consumer purchase decisions are influenced by prior preferences, information from marketers, and input from other consumers. The document states that as consumers rely more on opinions from other people (O) than information from marketers (M), branding becomes less important, barriers to entry are lower, and companies can more easily diversify into new product areas. The rise of online reviews has caused many companies to dramatically shift their marketing strategies to account for peer influence on customers.
Brands vs private labels;david vs goliath
Private label products offered by retailers are gaining popularity and outperforming branded goods in many product categories such as milk, canned peas, toilet paper, and detergent. Retailers benefit from improved profits on private labels while consumers appreciate the lower prices of these alternatives to national brands. For brand manufacturers, producing private labels poses risks like cannibalizing their original brand and increasing costs. However, following steps such as conducting an audit of private label performance and examining brand equity impacts can help brand manufacturers decide whether to enter this market and mitigate risks if they do. A case study of an Indian retailer demonstrates which of its private label products are most profitable.
A final mashup
Most presentations are boring, but they can be improved with simplicity, strong visuals, pleasing colors and organized text. Customer purchase decisions are influenced by their prior preferences, information from marketers, and opinions from other people. The closer a product is to depending on outside opinions, the more companies should focus on social media, call centers and software to build relationships, while avoiding fake reviews or manipulation.

Ditch the discounts
Ditching discounts and engaging in price wars is not a good strategy. It is better to use adaptive pricing, where prices flexibly change based on market demands. For example, Aavin uses adaptive pricing for its different varieties of milk based on fat content. In recessions, companies can introduce lower-priced options and promotions to avoid price drops. In recoveries, companies reintroduce premium products and raise regular prices. Adaptive pricing is seen in industries like fast food and cars. Amma canteens provide subsidized meals through adaptive pricing to help the poor, though they incur losses. Overall, adaptive pricing is a better approach than price wars.
Make the most of a polarizing brand
This presentation is based on a Harvard Business Review article "Make the most of a polarizing brand". It also briefly explores the application of such strategies in the Indian Market.
COMPETING AGAINST FREE
This document discusses how to assess threats from new competitors offering free products or services. It provides guidelines for determining if a free entrant poses a minor, delayed, or immediate threat based on comparing the growth rate of the entrant's users to the defection rate of the established firm's paying customers. The document also outlines some strategies incumbent firms can use to offer a better free product, such as bundling it with paid offerings or charging third parties for access to users. It notes obstacles like profit expectations and accounting systems that may make these strategies difficult for incumbents.
Ditch the discounts
Companies competed with heavy discounts during the recession to boost sales. However, deep discounts devalue products and limit the ability to raise prices as the economy improves. Instead of discounts, companies can use adaptive pricing by offering different versions tailored to customers' needs and budgets. They introduce lower-priced basic versions alongside premium products to attract both price-sensitive and high-paying customers. As the economy recovers, companies withdraw temporary discounts and introduce new premium products while gradually increasing regular product prices through tactics like creative financing plans.
Un me jeans
This document discusses brand manager Margaret Foley's options for promoting the UnMe Jeans brand among its target market of girls aged 12-24. It analyzes the changing media landscape and consumer habits toward more online and social media engagement. It evaluates options like YouTube, Facebook, virtual worlds and their pros and cons for UnMe's marketing budget. The document recommends increasing the online banner and search ad budgets given growth in those platforms and their relevance to UnMe's target demographic.

A brand is forever
This document discusses strategies for revitalizing declining or dead brands. It begins by providing an example of the Ford Taurus brand that was once very successful but later declined. It then identifies three main causes of brand decline: managerial actions, environmental factors, and competitive actions. Examples are given for each cause. The document also discusses deconstructing brand decline by differentiating the brand, maintaining a strong image, and following customers. Finally, it outlines strategies for revitalizing brands such as estimating if the brand can regain glory, carefully choosing a target audience, understanding past strategy failures, rebuilding quality, and resisting temptation to overexploit the brand.
What are brands good for
Brands are traditionally used to aggregate customers by promising clear benefits and differentiating products from competitors. However, the rise of information sharing online is undermining this approach. Consumer "disaggregation" through more targeted and two-way communication allows companies to be more flexible, adaptive, and responsive to individual customer needs in a more efficient way. To adapt, companies should focus on building direct relationships with consumers through targeted communication rather than relying solely on brands. They need new structures that include relationship-building, tactical marketing influence, and continual product innovation to engage disaggregated consumers.
Gino sa
This document provides a case study about Gino SA, a burner manufacturer founded in 1931 and headquartered in Paris. It discusses Gino's expansion into the Chinese market in 1995 by establishing an office in Beijing and partnering with three distributors in different regions of China. It then describes how Gino achieved success in China by lowering domestic product prices. A key distributor, Jinghua, had a major customer, Feima, but was not pursuing other opportunities. Feima requested to purchase directly from Gino. This caused issues with Jinghua. The document recommends that Gino pursue the Feima contract directly while compensating Jinghua to maintain the important distribution relationship. It also suggests Gino
Aquatred case
The document summarizes a Harvard Business School case study about Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in the 1990s. It discusses Goodyear launching a new high-performance tire called Aquatred to target quality and value-oriented consumers. It analyzes whether Aquatred is suitable for dealers and consumers, whether distribution should be expanded, and what the pricing and promotional policies should be. The key conclusions are that Aquatred should be positioned as a premium product, current distribution channels should be utilized maximally, and dealers encouraged to maintain recommended pricing through aggressive marketing and advertising.

Saxonville sausage company
Saxonville Sausage Company manufactures fresh pork sausage products and wants to launch a national Italian sausage brand. Research found their Vivio brand positioned as locally made and fresh was growing. Further research showed the core value of women as homemakers. The recommended positioning was "Clever Cooking" to prevent cannibalizing other products and leverage Vivio's growth. The new products should be developed under Vivio to tap new markets without affecting other brands. Distribution could expand nationally then to frozen/smoked products outside the core geography.
Saxonville Sausage Company
Saxonville Sausage Company is a $1.5 billion company known for its bratwurst and breakfast sausages. It is looking to expand its Vivio Italian sausage brand nationally. Currently Vivio has regional distribution in the Eastern US and 5% of company sales. A SWOT analysis found strengths in Saxonville's distribution and brand recognition but weaknesses in Vivio's lack of positioning. Objectives are to launch Vivio nationally while limiting impact on other brands. The target audience is busy female heads of households. Positioning alternatives of "Family Connection" and "Clever Cooking" were considered, with "Family Connection" chosen. The action plan outlines pre-launch, launch, and post-launch activities over 12

Your body shapes who you are
- 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.
