Learning Seaman
This course discusses the impact of body language on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It emphasizes the concept of "power posing," where assuming certain postures can lead to changes in hormone levels and brain chemistry, ultimately affecting our behaviour and success.
The research shows that adopting high-power poses increases confidence and dominance-associated hormones like testosterone while decreasing stress-associated hormones like cortisol. This can result in better performance in various areas of life, such as job interviews and sports competitions. However, it's important to note that body language is just one factor among many that contribute to success. Genuine confidence and competence cannot be substituted by power posing alone. Nonetheless, being mindful of body language can boost confidence, improve communication skills, and enhance personal relationships. It also has an impact on emotional well-being and mental health. Furthermore, body language affects group dynamics and societal issues, with open and confident body language leading to more positive outcomes and action against injustice. In conclusion, our body language shapes not only how others perceive us but also how we perceive ourselves and navigate the world around us.
