some of you complaining about the small bugs of her in the presentation ( smacking the mouth, little nervous appearance ). I felt like thsese small (mistakes) of her let her appear more human and so its easier to make her advices to your own goals ( not like a perfect and inimitable person ). The speech wasn't a competition. The purpose was to send a mesage and give you advice of scientific proven and subconscious methods to make your life much more easier and yourself more happy. It was amazing, my respect
Sami Peterson not given the subject matter, she is herself failing in the area she is supposed to be an expert on... it really detracts from her. To talk about the importance of body language etc which presenting yourself with poor body language is really poor.
Sami Karaköse It would have been cool if she had started the speech stuttering and sniffing but over the course of the video she became more dominant and convincing. But it's whatever, what she says isn't any less true because of the way she says it.
I am sorry: critics are right. Her body language is the worst ever. So I guess that it does NOT matter after all, unless you a celebrity. False body language look absurd
@D Murray and yet she is standing there giving one of most viewed speeches, not you:-) This is what happens when you have a courage to do:-) even though it was not flawless, it is one of the speeches that have most influenced my life. Thanks Amy Cuddy for being a badass!
“Having your identity taken from you...there’s nothing that leaves you feeling more powerless than that.” Omg she gets it! I think I saw this video before, but it really resonates with me now, and describes exactly what I was going through. Thank you for demonstrating how to get our individual power back.
18:30 I had to watch this for my class but I wasn't expecting to start getting emotional. I genuinely resonated with that little anecdote especially since I plan to go to graduate school. I feel like I really needed to hear that at this time wow.
Ms. Cuddy, good day. I'm grateful I saw your talk back in 2013, it gave me immense inspiration. I didn't know what to do back then. I had TBI a year prior, and I was contemplating if I should continue my studies or not, and, thanks to you, I'm now on my way to getting my license as a physician.
Important Clippings: - What is your body, communicating to somebody else and what is their body communicating to you? - We ourselves are also influenced by our nonverbal - Nonverbal expressions of power and dominance - We compliment to others non verbals. We don't tend to mirror them; we tend to do the opposite - Pretend to be powerful, you are more likely to feel powerful - Powerful people tend to be more assertive and more confident, more optimistic - They take more risks. Powerful and effective leaders also have high testosterone and low cortisol. - Tiny tweaks and leads to big changes - Try power posing and share this knowledge
"She is teaching people to fake who they are" if you say it like that then yes, I understand this: She is teaching people to fake who they want(or need) to be until the become it.
This comes to me in a very special moment of my life, I'm about to take a huge exam next saturday and I think this will help me to control stress and fear. One of the most touching TED talks ever. Thank you, whoever records and uploads this videos

Dear Amy, thank you very much for your research. Starting a new career after 60 I needed a reminder from starting as a stylist. You radiate genuine caring and come from the school of hard knocks. Way to go on your determination🎶
Her story about her student never participated in class and said she doesn't belong resonates with me. I am always the quietest person in any class and even up to now at my current job where I am currently in a small in-class training, I never really speak or participate. So when I heard her and her student's story, it relates to me now and I feel I don't belong. But I want to take her message and fake it until I become it! I hope one day I become it and become more confident! This was a great ted talk!
Fantastic talk! She had great support for her message, from the opinions of test subjects to actual hard scientific measurements of hormones to personal successes. Great message, and what it comes down to, in my opinion, is that you can truly change yourself, just through willpower, to become the person you've always wanted to be!
"Don't leave the situation feeling like ohhh I didn't show them who I am, leave that situation feel like ahh I really feel like I got to say who I am and show them who I am" 🔥🔥🔥
Great talk and message by Amy! The takeaway here is huge, you can definitely encourage your brain to behave a certain way by reinforcing it in various ways (body language, positive thoughts, etc). Posture is something to always be wary about since you can sometimes unintentionally give off the wrong vibe.
Thanks Amy ! It’s encouraging to know that we can actually change our abilities simply by changing our posture. Especially helpful to me as I’m having a job interviews and sharing recently. Will practice the power pose and attitude!
Wow amazing . I love these talks . Will definitely implement it into my daily life and see how it affects my mind . Also will share my feelings instead of bottling it up. Thanks TED .
If it does not work for you...shut your face. Do not mock. If it works for you, (as it does for me), enjoy, and practice... Essentially this is for the little people, or those who have been brought up "not to be pushy", in other words, "shut up, you're not good enough". Well, this tells me that I am good enough, and to get me going, "Just fake it until I make it". Wonderful. I feel better already.
You can't confuse accepting challenges with making believe that you know something. It is taking the step that makes the difference of action vs. not acting. When you take the action, you are making the change needed. You can win everything and still be wrong about everything so becoming something does not necessarily change anything.
I have been doing the fake it until you make it for a while now without knowing about this tedtalk, and it actually worked for me in presentations and interviews ....
A great speech that touches on a powerfull truth. Just as confidence level affects posture, so posture affects confidence level. I teach performance skills. Over the years I have advised many less conffident students to adopt the pose they imagine they would adopt if they were more confident. It works every time.
high power poses tend to be open up ( high testosterone and low cortisol) while the low power poses are close (low testosterone and high cortisol) high power poses represents confidence, enthusiasm
Great presentation! I watched bunch of videos about body language before but mostly in a psychological way. This clarifies so much more information in a scientific way. Thank you.
Everyone, dun FAKE anything, be true to yourself. Once you fake and become something you are not, at some point you will lose yourself. COMPLETELY. And you gonna find yourself again after all the fake changes and be back to yourself. Everyone have a different personality, all you can do is to embrace yourself and live your own way. Thank you!
Fantastic speech... All of this is definitely true, and the fact is, now I'm thinking about all my little failures, ..., I could definitely have faked it and made it a lot better, without any doubt. And that's what clearly happened during (and before) my best successes. I wish I had seen this before my exams. But never mind, it'll still be helpful. Thanks a lot, you told it so well...
Indeed people judge based on the posture. If I happen to be more confident than others, I will help the non-confident. But there are people who judge and take advantage of you being powerless. There are also neutral people. Not always powerful or powerless. Higher or lower. These days, equality is important. Powerful people can come to as arrogant, asshole, etc. This shown as well with race, religion, nationality. This kind of social thing is something interesting to study.
Fake it until you make it!!!!!! This is very good advise for someone looking for a job. If you are asked how long you have done this sort of work, lie to the interviewer. Yes, I said it. L I E. This is because for your new job you will be trained, anyways. This whole "Do you have Experience racket?" is just a bunch of nonsense. It does not matter if you have never done the job. You are a competent employee. The new position is something you will be taught how to do Unless you are an engineer, doctor or perhaps even a lawyer, you do you need prior skills, Companies simply need to take a chance on someone who is qualified, but has perhaps never done this exact job. Once you begin working, every aspect of the job will be taught to you.
That's a double edged sword. If you're going to lie, make sure it's on a little thing. One person applied for a job once, an elderly man and said on his application and to the interviewers that he knew how to operate a computer, that he was technologically literate. Well, during his training, the employee overlooking his training asked him to copy and paste some documents and send them to him. However, the elderly gentlemen didn't know how to copy and paste. He knew how to use the internet, he knew how to access word documents, but he knew nothing past that. Needless to say, he didn't make it past training. So yes, I do feel that "faking it till you make it" is a good strategy, but you shouldn't fake expertise, experience, or know how, fake your confidence if you're going to fake anything. If you're not confident, fake it like you are. It's better to be qualified and have to fake your confidence, than be confident and fake your qualifications.
I was not stating the absolute, there are many cases in which women are the stronger species, all I was stating is that she was using an generalization of human women. There are many powerful and important women in my life, and I would never doubt their abilities or strength.
I think people are wrong in saying that she is crying over her 2 IQ points and that is what she is talking about. This is a life lesson that sometimes you need to revisit to remember how important it is.
Thank you very much Amy for your talk...I loved the idea of being without 'residue' and faking it to become it...my work is all about presence and authenticity and see that when a person stands in the absence of the physical and verbal and they wait a palpable presence starts to generate itself whilst they are being witnessed on a stage or in front of a video camera and I will encourage all in future to try the power pose....I also loved your authenticity and presence ! Totally fab!

''fake till u become it" this will linger in my head for a long time now
I never noticed any noises until u read the comments. Boy, are people whiny and looking for excuses to dismiss good advice .

I dont care if its a reupload or not, havent seen it yet. Thank you Ted!
Learn the secret of being genuine and knowing that power is in truth.
What a phenomenal talk that has undoubtedly helped so many people already. Coming back to it again and again. Thank you Amy.

This is so true! Please share this with your friends...all your friends!
Loved it very moving and almost brought a 19 year old dude to happy tears I love the passion and spirit of this lady
2024 and here because of my Compositon class :))
hi, 2024 and here for Conversation class
Thanks Amy ! It’s encouraging to know that we can actually change our abilities simply by changing our posture.

Oh wow, the end of that talk got really real. Loved it.
Very powerful stuff, thank you for the inspiration Amy Cuddy :)
Great talk. The greatest learning is 'Fake it until you make it'. Body language is also a language of communication and development. Regards
This has been one of the best talks i've ever seen on Ted, very good :D
You can't confuse accepting challenges with making believe that you know something.
It is taking the step that makes the difference of action vs. not acting. When you take the action, you are making the change needed.
You can win everything and still be wrong about everything so becoming something does not necessarily change anything.
watching it in 2024 and realizing it was the best talk that's still relevant
I have been doing the fake it until you make it for a while now without knowing about this tedtalk, and it actually worked for me in presentations and interviews ....
I love how everything in my life makes sense now
It works I've tried it. I love Amy's speeches and messages, they're always life inspiring.
I'm listening in 2024
This is amazing I hope she's proud of herself :)
Wow, she is a very smart woman. Great talk. Mind-boggling.
A great speech that touches on a powerfull truth. Just as confidence level affects posture, so posture affects confidence level. I teach performance skills. Over the years I have advised many less conffident students to adopt the pose they imagine they would adopt if they were more confident. It works every time.

Changing our posture. Thanks 😊🙏
This and the one by Diana Nyad are my two fav talks by women
I'm just a 15 year old surfing the UA-cam but I was shocked when you said that woman were more likely to act less powerful than men
great job this is the best and only ted talk I ever listened to.
This felt like a sermon! LOL. Powerful!
maybe one of the most useful talks i've seen
my own sympathetic response to amy caught me off guard i "felt" her emotions. 20 minutes well spent.
It was amazing also at the same time, very helpful.
Thank you Amy Cuddy
on 2nd place Ted:Please hydrate the speaker.
She's either really nervous or maybe stimulant/meth mouth? Maybe both lol... dark humor
I'm in love with the speaker !
salute the great social psychologist.
This is Amazing, I had a talk once with a friend about this topic and i was trying to convince him about this fact, and now here it is, this is great.
she can live with one eye
"We are what we pretend to be so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." -Kurt Vonnegut.
Love this. One of the best talks.
Body language is a part of communication theory, which is a social science. Therefore, it is a science that can be studied, interpreted, and expanded.
Wow she did such an amazing speech. I am going to share this with people.
Thank you. I can relate. This talk is so helpful.
Awesome talk. Thank you Amy.
Inspiring. Sometimes I forget such a simple, small thing like body language.
It wasn't until she broke at 18:32 was I able to genuinely connect/care about what she was saying. Before that it was just zzzz talk. Great tips
A message to the director of this show: Next time, please, show us her body language. Thanks!
high power poses tend to be open up ( high testosterone and low cortisol) while the low power poses are close (low testosterone and high cortisol)
high power poses represents confidence, enthusiasm
I have watched players on a bench transform from powerful to weak and vice versa based on their body positioning and posture. Be big to play big.
second time i watch this talk and its AMAZING. Thanks
I learnt how to sit in high power posture and body language
Great presentation! I watched bunch of videos about body language before but mostly in a psychological way. This clarifies so much more information in a scientific way. Thank you.
Everyone, dun FAKE anything, be true to yourself. Once you fake and become something you are not, at some point you will lose yourself. COMPLETELY. And you gonna find yourself again after all the fake changes and be back to yourself. Everyone have a different personality, all you can do is to embrace yourself and live your own way. Thank you!
There's nothing wrong in improving our posture to BECOME a BETTER version of OURSELVES 😉
Fantastic speech... All of this is definitely true, and the fact is, now I'm thinking about all my little failures, ..., I could definitely have faked it and made it a lot better, without any doubt. And that's what clearly happened during (and before) my best successes.
I wish I had seen this before my exams. But never mind, it'll still be helpful. Thanks a lot, you told it so well...
This lady's body language showed she's either nervous or not comfortable standing on the stage. Her voice made me feel she's gonna pass out soon.
life changer! thank you TED and Amy!
Did this help you? Please share.

I just sub to this TED because it uploads the good ones
This is unforgettable. Especially when she started to talk about her accident. Who's her name by the way?
Mindless stares are meaningless. It is your word that makes all the difference.
처음엔 자기개발서에 나오는 내용같아 별 생각없이 보다가 끝부분에 뭉클해졌다.
It's so inspiring! Thanks for this speech!!!
Faking something until you become it can help improve your confidence and self esteem as well.
I was not stating the absolute, there are many cases in which women are the stronger species, all I was stating is that she was using an generalization of human women. There are many powerful and important women in my life, and I would never doubt their abilities or strength.
That was beautiful! Thank you Amy for sharing :)
This' real power right here!🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this woman!
Wow, amazing
Who you are determines what our body language is.
So insightful... This is very helpful❤❤
I loved it. Great lessons and great story. Thanks Amy Cuddy
Conform to truth and make it the right way.
WATER!!!!!!!! Please!!!! someone please bring me waterer
Good speech, love it.
this is better than school
SWIFT COLOURS tru
Excellent talk!👍🏽 The noises are the least important thing!🙄
Great Job... so many good things said here
God bless you Amy..
She is amazing HATS OFF !!!!!!!!
I think people are wrong in saying that she is crying over her 2 IQ points and that is what she is talking about. This is a life lesson that sometimes you need to revisit to remember how important it is.
Very informative and helpful and very touching personal story.
This was such a helpful lesson, thank you.
Thank you very much Amy for your talk...I loved the idea of being without 'residue' and faking it to become it...my work is all about presence and authenticity and see that when a person stands in the absence of the physical and verbal and they wait a palpable presence starts to generate itself whilst they are being witnessed on a stage or in front of a video camera and I will encourage all in future to try the power pose....I also loved your authenticity and presence !
