strike the pose and go for it!

Amy Cuddy is cool. 

She's come up with something really simple to help us when we need a little boost to our self-confidence when faced with a difficult task such as going for an interview or telling someone something they won't want to hear.

All we need to do is go somewhere private and adopt a confident pose (e.g. hands on hips like "Wonder Woman" or shoot our hands in the air like we've just won the 100m sprint) for a whole 2 minutes.

Then we go and do that thing we have to do, feeling much more confident. 

See the TED talk here. 

It works!
