I just watched this video and thought it was remarkable.
Professor Amy Cuddy from the Harvard Business School conducted research on “Power Poses” and the impact they have on your confidence and stress levels.
Apparently, doing simple power poses (like standing with your hands on your hips or putting your feet up on a desk) for only 2 minutes before a meeting, presentation, or performance could give you a significant confidence boost that makes you perform at a much better level.
It’s incredible how simple changes in your body language could greatly affect how you behave or feel.
Watch the short 6 minute TIME video here:
The next time I’m getting on a call with an executive, I’m trying some of those poses out on my desk!
In the meantime, let me know if they work out for you 🙂
I do the hands on hips all the time!!! 🙂

Another fantastic video.
As a yoga teacher and enthusiast I am a firm believer in the power of a pose. 🙂
