some of you complaining about the small bugs of her in the presentation ( smacking the mouth, little nervous appearance ). I felt like thsese small (mistakes) of her let her appear more human and so its easier to make her advices to your own goals ( not like a perfect and inimitable person ). The speech wasn't a competition. The purpose was to send a mesage and give you advice of scientific proven and subconscious methods to make your life much more easier and yourself more happy. It was amazing, my respect
Sami Peterson not given the subject matter, she is herself failing in the area she is supposed to be an expert on... it really detracts from her. To talk about the importance of body language etc which presenting yourself with poor body language is really poor.
Sami Karaköse It would have been cool if she had started the speech stuttering and sniffing but over the course of the video she became more dominant and convincing. But it's whatever, what she says isn't any less true because of the way she says it.
I am sorry: critics are right. Her body language is the worst ever. So I guess that it does NOT matter after all, unless you a celebrity. False body language look absurd
@D Murray and yet she is standing there giving one of most viewed speeches, not you:-) This is what happens when you have a courage to do:-) even though it was not flawless, it is one of the speeches that have most influenced my life. Thanks Amy Cuddy for being a badass!
“Having your identity taken from you...there’s nothing that leaves you feeling more powerless than that.” Omg she gets it! I think I saw this video before, but it really resonates with me now, and describes exactly what I was going through. Thank you for demonstrating how to get our individual power back.
"She is teaching people to fake who they are" if you say it like that then yes, I understand this: She is teaching people to fake who they want(or need) to be until the become it.
18:30 I had to watch this for my class but I wasn't expecting to start getting emotional. I genuinely resonated with that little anecdote especially since I plan to go to graduate school. I feel like I really needed to hear that at this time wow.

Important Clippings: - What is your body, communicating to somebody else and what is their body communicating to you? - We ourselves are also influenced by our nonverbal - Nonverbal expressions of power and dominance - We compliment to others non verbals. We don't tend to mirror them; we tend to do the opposite - Pretend to be powerful, you are more likely to feel powerful - Powerful people tend to be more assertive and more confident, more optimistic - They take more risks. Powerful and effective leaders also have high testosterone and low cortisol. - Tiny tweaks and leads to big changes - Try power posing and share this knowledge
Ms. Cuddy, good day. I'm grateful I saw your talk back in 2013, it gave me immense inspiration. I didn't know what to do back then. I had TBI a year prior, and I was contemplating if I should continue my studies or not, and, thanks to you, I'm now on my way to getting my license as a physician.
Her story about her student never participated in class and said she doesn't belong resonates with me. I am always the quietest person in any class and even up to now at my current job where I am currently in a small in-class training, I never really speak or participate. So when I heard her and her student's story, it relates to me now and I feel I don't belong. But I want to take her message and fake it until I become it! I hope one day I become it and become more confident! This was a great ted talk!
"Don't leave the situation feeling like ohhh I didn't show them who I am, leave that situation feel like ahh I really feel like I got to say who I am and show them who I am" 🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic talk! She had great support for her message, from the opinions of test subjects to actual hard scientific measurements of hormones to personal successes. Great message, and what it comes down to, in my opinion, is that you can truly change yourself, just through willpower, to become the person you've always wanted to be!
If it does not work for you...shut your face. Do not mock. If it works for you, (as it does for me), enjoy, and practice... Essentially this is for the little people, or those who have been brought up "not to be pushy", in other words, "shut up, you're not good enough". Well, this tells me that I am good enough, and to get me going, "Just fake it until I make it". Wonderful. I feel better already.
Dear Amy, thank you very much for your research. Starting a new career after 60 I needed a reminder from starting as a stylist. You radiate genuine caring and come from the school of hard knocks. Way to go on your determination🎶
You can't confuse accepting challenges with making believe that you know something. It is taking the step that makes the difference of action vs. not acting. When you take the action, you are making the change needed. You can win everything and still be wrong about everything so becoming something does not necessarily change anything.
Great talk and message by Amy! The takeaway here is huge, you can definitely encourage your brain to behave a certain way by reinforcing it in various ways (body language, positive thoughts, etc). Posture is something to always be wary about since you can sometimes unintentionally give off the wrong vibe.
This comes to me in a very special moment of my life, I'm about to take a huge exam next saturday and I think this will help me to control stress and fear. One of the most touching TED talks ever. Thank you, whoever records and uploads this videos
I have been doing the fake it until you make it for a while now without knowing about this tedtalk, and it actually worked for me in presentations and interviews ....
A great speech that touches on a powerfull truth. Just as confidence level affects posture, so posture affects confidence level. I teach performance skills. Over the years I have advised many less conffident students to adopt the pose they imagine they would adopt if they were more confident. It works every time.
high power poses tend to be open up ( high testosterone and low cortisol) while the low power poses are close (low testosterone and high cortisol) high power poses represents confidence, enthusiasm
Fantastic speech... All of this is definitely true, and the fact is, now I'm thinking about all my little failures, ..., I could definitely have faked it and made it a lot better, without any doubt. And that's what clearly happened during (and before) my best successes. I wish I had seen this before my exams. But never mind, it'll still be helpful. Thanks a lot, you told it so well...
Indeed people judge based on the posture. If I happen to be more confident than others, I will help the non-confident. But there are people who judge and take advantage of you being powerless. There are also neutral people. Not always powerful or powerless. Higher or lower. These days, equality is important. Powerful people can come to as arrogant, asshole, etc. This shown as well with race, religion, nationality. This kind of social thing is something interesting to study.
I was not stating the absolute, there are many cases in which women are the stronger species, all I was stating is that she was using an generalization of human women. There are many powerful and important women in my life, and I would never doubt their abilities or strength.

Wow amazing . I love these talks . Will definitely implement it into my daily life and see how it affects my mind . Also will share my feelings instead of bottling it up. Thanks TED .
Everyone, dun FAKE anything, be true to yourself. Once you fake and become something you are not, at some point you will lose yourself. COMPLETELY. And you gonna find yourself again after all the fake changes and be back to yourself. Everyone have a different personality, all you can do is to embrace yourself and live your own way. Thank you!
Thanks Amy ! It’s encouraging to know that we can actually change our abilities simply by changing our posture. Especially helpful to me as I’m having a job interviews and sharing recently. Will practice the power pose and attitude!
Great presentation! I watched bunch of videos about body language before but mostly in a psychological way. This clarifies so much more information in a scientific way. Thank you.
I think people are wrong in saying that she is crying over her 2 IQ points and that is what she is talking about. This is a life lesson that sometimes you need to revisit to remember how important it is.

I never noticed any noises until u read the comments. Boy, are people whiny and looking for excuses to dismiss good advice .
I dont care if its a reupload or not, havent seen it yet. Thank you Ted!
Learn the secret of being genuine and knowing that power is in truth.
She deserved that standing ovation!

2024 and here because of my Compositon class :))
hi, 2024 and here for Conversation class
watching it in 2024 and realizing it was the best talk that's still relevant
This is so true! Please share this with your friends...all your friends!

What a phenomenal talk that has undoubtedly helped so many people already. Coming back to it again and again. Thank you Amy.
on 2nd place Ted:Please hydrate the speaker.
She's either really nervous or maybe stimulant/meth mouth? Maybe both lol... dark humor
Loved it very moving and almost brought a 19 year old dude to happy tears I love the passion and spirit of this lady
Oh wow, the end of that talk got really real. Loved it.
I'm just a 15 year old surfing the TH-cam but I was shocked when you said that woman were more likely to act less powerful than men
This comes to me in a very special moment of my life, I'm about to take a huge exam next saturday and I think this will help me to control stress and fear. One of the most touching TED talks ever. Thank you, whoever records and uploads this videos
Just make sure You dont fake the exam it self. Break a leg btw.
How did the exam go?
Don't leave us hangin'. How'd you do!? :)
Don't leave us hangin'. How'd you do!? :) 2
Yo! You good ? How did the exam go…
I have been doing the fake it until you make it for a while now without knowing about this tedtalk, and it actually worked for me in presentations and interviews ....
I love how everything in my life makes sense now
A great speech that touches on a powerfull truth. Just as confidence level affects posture, so posture affects confidence level. I teach performance skills. Over the years I have advised many less conffident students to adopt the pose they imagine they would adopt if they were more confident. It works every time.
It works I've tried it. I love Amy's speeches and messages, they're always life inspiring.
my own sympathetic response to amy caught me off guard i "felt" her emotions. 20 minutes well spent.
awesome!!! thank you for this speech! I really needed to know this for my life.
This has been one of the best talks i've ever seen on Ted, very good :D
I'm listening in 2024
This is amazing I hope she's proud of herself :)
high power poses tend to be open up ( high testosterone and low cortisol) while the low power poses are close (low testosterone and high cortisol)
high power poses represents confidence, enthusiasm
Great talk. The greatest learning is 'Fake it until you make it'. Body language is also a language of communication and development. Regards
This and the one by Diana Nyad are my two fav talks by women
I learnt how to sit in high power posture and body language
This felt like a sermon! LOL. Powerful!
Body language is a part of communication theory, which is a social science. Therefore, it is a science that can be studied, interpreted, and expanded.
Very powerful stuff, thank you for the inspiration Amy Cuddy :)
maybe one of the most useful talks i've seen
Wow, she is a very smart woman. Great talk. Mind-boggling.
salute the great social psychologist.
great job this is the best and only ted talk I ever listened to.
"We are what we pretend to be so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." -Kurt Vonnegut.
Love this. One of the best talks.
Thank you. I can relate. This talk is so helpful.
It wasn't until she broke at 18:32 was I able to genuinely connect/care about what she was saying. Before that it was just zzzz talk. Great tips
This lady's body language showed she's either nervous or not comfortable standing on the stage. Her voice made me feel she's gonna pass out soon.
처음엔 자기개발서에 나오는 내용같아 별 생각없이 보다가 끝부분에 뭉클해졌다.
Fantastic speech... All of this is definitely true, and the fact is, now I'm thinking about all my little failures, ..., I could definitely have faked it and made it a lot better, without any doubt. And that's what clearly happened during (and before) my best successes.
I wish I had seen this before my exams. But never mind, it'll still be helpful. Thanks a lot, you told it so well...
A message to the director of this show: Next time, please, show us her body language. Thanks!
This is Amazing, I had a talk once with a friend about this topic and i was trying to convince him about this fact, and now here it is, this is great.
I just sub to this TED because it uploads the good ones
second time i watch this talk and its AMAZING. Thanks

I was not stating the absolute, there are many cases in which women are the stronger species, all I was stating is that she was using an generalization of human women. There are many powerful and important women in my life, and I would never doubt their abilities or strength.
I'm gonna try this
I have watched players on a bench transform from powerful to weak and vice versa based on their body positioning and posture. Be big to play big.

Mindless stares are meaningless. It is your word that makes all the difference.
This' real power right here!🔥🔥🔥🔥
It was amazing also at the same time, very helpful.

There's nothing wrong in improving our posture to BECOME a BETTER version of OURSELVES 😉
She is amazing HATS OFF !!!!!!!!
This is unforgettable. Especially when she started to talk about her accident. Who's her name by the way?
Thanks Amy ! It’s encouraging to know that we can actually change our abilities simply by changing our posture.
Especially helpful to me as I’m having a job interviews and sharing recently. Will practice the power pose and attitude!
I'm in love with the speaker !
I love this woman!
It's encouraging to know that we can actually change our abilities simply by
Changing our posture. Thanks 😊🙏
Great Job... so many good things said here
Who you are determines what our body language is.
Great presentation! I watched bunch of videos about body language before but mostly in a psychological way. This clarifies so much more information in a scientific way. Thank you.
It's so inspiring! Thanks for this speech!!!
life changer! thank you TED and Amy!
Did this help you? Please share.
God bless you Amy..
Mesmerising speech
I think people are wrong in saying that she is crying over her 2 IQ points and that is what she is talking about. This is a life lesson that sometimes you need to revisit to remember how important it is.
Great book also ! ❤
I loved it. Great lessons and great story. Thanks Amy Cuddy
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Faking something until you become it can help improve your confidence and self esteem as well.
Conform to truth and make it the right way.
Thank you 🎉
Very informative and helpful and very touching personal story.
great video she reminds me of the wife from dispicible me Grus wife
this is better than school

It is a phenomenon how people get things exactly backwards. it is not your gestures that determine what you are, it is what you are that determine what your gestures will be.
Good speech, love it.
This was such a helpful lesson, thank you.
