Your Body Language Is Telling You You’re Not Safe | Amy Cuddy

Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shares how body language signals safety to the brain, the difference between faking confidence and becoming it, and why imposter syndrome affects up to 85% of people. She introduces a four-seven-eight breathing technique for high-stakes moments, a self-affirmation writing exercise that outperforms pep talks, and Alison Wood Brooks's research on reframing anxiety as excitement. Cuddy also tells the story of nurse Alex Wubbels to illustrate the kind of quiet bravery that gets no glory. The conversation offers tools to reclaim personal power and stop shrinking to stay unnoticed.
