Here’s a great TED talk for new CVM graduates headed into job interviews, or for anyone going into a situation where they could use a confidence booster.
Synopsis: “Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.”
