Power Posing: A Cheat Code For Your Social Life (Updated)

7/8/2014

 
What if I told you that I can make you more assertive, confident and comfortable in two minutes? Pretty sweet, huh?

Well, I can't. But you can. (ooh, tell me more!)

There is this awesome technique called "power posing" and you should be doing it EVERY DAY.

It takes two minutes and could change your entire life. Here's the video:

Simple acts that have profound results fascinate me. That's really what Become More Compelling is about. And that's what drew me to Harvard Business Associate Professor Amy Cuddy's work.

She went from surviving a serious car accident that decreased her IQ by two standard deviations to teaching in the Ivy League and being featured in TIME magazine's 2012 list of "Game Changers".

Here is her TED talk. Watching is mandatory:
Here Is your challenge: 

1. Power Pose right now. Don't say "I'll do that later." and never do it. 

2. If you know someone who could use this information, share this post with them...you may just save their (social) life.

3. Leave a comment below about your experience Power Posing.

My thoughts on Power Posing after 4+ months...

What I've found  out about power posing is interesting...

Here's what's going through my mind during those 2 minutes:

0:01-0:30 "Why the fuck am I doing this, this is so stupid."
0:30-1:00 "Well, I'm already doing it, I might as well keep doing it..."
1:00-1:30 "Okay, this is getting more comfortable, I'm feeling better."
1:30-2:00 "Holy shit, I feel great...I'm ready to bench press the world."

What's fascinating is that I don't get the "payoff" until the last 30 seconds. 

Sometime the things that are good for us are not the easiest...hmm...

After four months, aside from last 30sec payoff, I'd love to hear some other payoffs you've noticed?

Jocelyn,

One thing that I noticed is that I feel more proactive rather than reactive....

What Power Posing has allowed me to do is stop reacting to news-feeds, and email, and other's requests for 2 minutes so I can center myself, and give the best version of myself back to the world.

It's really empowering.

:-)
