Getting ready to give a speech, present a project, have an interview, go on a blind date? Your posture before hand greatly influences how you will perform. Ever see a submissive animal? Ears back, tail between the legs, making itself as small as possible. Contrarily, how about a powerful, confident animal? Ears up, tail up, broad stance. It is no wonder, each animal will embody their stance. Same goes for you! If you stand like a superhero before your big activity, you will perform better. The Science if Amy Buddy has proven this unequivocally. This video dives deep into the science and capabilities that standing with presence will offer you.
