Document Summary

Body language looking at tone of voice, eye contacts, posture: what does our movement and posture communicate to other people, e. g. when we experience victory, we have the tendency to put our hands in the air. Even blind people will do this even if they have never seen anyone do this. We know that our body language effects how people perceive us. If you find yourself with bad posture, you might now absorb as much information: stimulating or relaxing effects based on the posture you have. The power pose: spread out, taking up much more space, tend to see those expressions of power in our body language, high-power poses: more open, owning their space, low-power poses: taking up less space, hands crossed. Asked for two minutes to adopt either a high-power pose, or a low power-pose. We know that our body language affects: how people perceive us, and, how we perceive ourselves.
