From The Journal of Improbable Research:
Back in 2010, a seminal ‘Power Posing’ study from Columbia University and Harvard University in the US revealed :
“That a person can, by assuming two simple 1-min poses, embody power and instantly become more powerful has real-world, actionable implications.”
The research team found that ‘Power Posing’ not only had effects on observers of the poses, but also that the poser’s own hormone balances were changed in the process.
