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!!!

Do we have to vogue at the same time?

Yes. He's doing it.
We could learn!
Come in, Remi, step up from bibs and cones.

The ultimate in power poses.

But seriously, why not?
The players wear those black bras over their playing tops, after all.
I'm just asking, are they really making the most of training. That's all.

LouzieO, a friend sent me that video a couple of years ago the day before a final interview and I was offered the job. The one thing I retained was waiting for the interview standing around like I owned the place as opposed to sitting down hunched over my phone. Long live Ted!

Pat - I am vindicated!!!
Really glad you were offered the job; did you take it?;)
Thinking back over a couple of really dodgy interviews I've had, I don't think confidence was my problem at the time!
