“Our nonverbals govern how we think and feel about ourselves. Our bodies change our minds.” -Amy Cuddy
Power poses activate what psychologists call the behavioral approach system, which increases our feelings of strength and decreases feelings of fear.
At The Growth Dojo our students constantly perform a “Posture Check” throughout class. When an instructor yells, “posture check” the class yells back, “shoulders back, chin up, eyes are forward!” This small yet very effective empowerment hack injects confidence and spirit in our students.
Respectfully,
Coach Mark
