Strike a 'power pose' for invincibility!

https://www.ted.com › talks › amy_cuddy

I read about this in The Times so it must be true.  Sorry about the link!
Amy Cuddy is a Harvard Business professor who has researched confidence and success.

Somebody has to pass on the following to Remi and the lads:

Striking a power pose for a couple of minutes before a difficult meeting or an interview will result in a positive outcome for you more times than not, according to her team's research.

The power pose - stand like Wonder Woman, hands on hips, shoulders back and feet apart, staring confidently into the distance and imagining a cape billowing back from your shoulders.

( A twirl appears optional but hell, I think we're not about to dismiss anything that might add extra edge, are we?)

If the link doesn't work, google her name ( Amy Cuddy, not WW) and look for the Ted Talk on body language.

This could completely revolutionise the January transfer window!
Lose the dross and stand like a superhero!
More confidence, unlimited success and less pressure to sign anybody else's dross!
Cracked it.

Paul McKenna's banging on about these 'power poses' in his latest book - referenced in the Mirror here - http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/paul-mckenna-reveals-how-what-7176703

I feel like the Board have been doing power pose 1 for the last five years when they should've been doing some effing work!!!

Come in, Remi, step up from bibs and cones.
