Fake it till you become it: Cuddy urges us all to be Wonder Woman
“Our bodies change our minds, and our minds can change our behavior, and our behavior can change our outcomes.” – Amy Cuddy
I wanted to share this video for a variety of reasons. Firstly, I find that there is a distinct value in working on perfecting your personal image and brand (Hmm, I think that’s the aspiring Marketing student speaking up). The video gives insight into ways people can maximize their potential through simple self-improvement practices.
I believe this is very important in the world of commerce, and this comes as no surprise, since Amy Cuddy is in fact a professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and uses these insights to teach her students how to master and gain access to the opportunities they seek out.
I am not sure if its her charisma or her research which makes me excited to incorporate her recommendations into my daily life, but I do know that since watching this video I have felt confident in all sorts of nerve wracking situations. Such as, University and job interviews. I know there are some people out there, who might actually read this post and not be as in awe with Cuddy as I am. I encourage you all to “fake it ‘til you become it!”
