20. How to Be Confident & Own Your Presence with Amy Cuddy

Dr. Amy Cuddy is a social psychologist, bestselling author, award-winning Harvard lecturer, and expert on the behavioral science of power, presence, and prejudice. Amy Cuddy sits down with Maria to teach us how to be present, bring your best self to every situation, the difference between confidence and arrogance, and how imposter syndrome is holding a lot of us back and moving past it.

In 2012 Amy Cuddy gave a TED talk called “Your body language shapes who you are,” in which she detailed the effects of “power posing,” based on research by herself and other scientists working in the field. The talk went viral, going on to become one of TED’s most watched talks ever, with more than 54 million views.
