Amy Cuddy's Inspirational Ted Talk about Body Language

I wanted to share this Ted Talk  featuring Amy Cuddy  on body language. Cuddy is a social psychologist her concentration  is on social dominance. The talk goes into depth on how our bodies change our minds.   I am just fascinated  with this area in communications.

The  effects on body language creates meaningful outcomes based on judgement of body language. This determines who we hire, associate or date.  We are so influenced by non verbal communication.

Its interesting how she compares human nature's non verbal behavior to those in the animal kingdom. For example when we feel victorious we rise our hands in the air. When we don't feel powerful we become small or close off.

She goes over how body language affects not only how other people see you, but even how you see yourself. Listening to her tips can improve your overall confidence, and change how others perceive you.
