I watched Amy Cuddy’s TEDTalk the other night and it seems it really struck a nerve as I have thought of it a number of times since. I’ve told a few people already to watch it in the hopes they could draw some inspiration from it.
Her findings as a researcher of body language specifically as it relates to women is fascinating. There are so many times, I’ve seen women get shut down in meetings by their male colleagues because their demeanor was too submissive even though their idea was better.
I know the video has gotten over 6 million views. I hope it gets 12 million more!
