Your success is dependent on your ability to show up powerfully in any situation. But most of us can be thrown off our game pretty easily – sometimes even by the mere presence of another person. Enter Amy Cuddy, social psychologist and associate professor at Harvard Business School, who offers a crazy simple, surprisingly effective path to standing in our power . . . always. Amy’s TED talk on the subject is the second most viewed TED Talk in history (with millions of views). In our conversation about her most recent book, Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges, Amy teaches us the research-based path to showing up with power and confidence. Listen here.
