  Amy Cuddy’s research on body language reveals that we can change other people’s perceptions — and perhaps even our own body chemistry — simply by changing body positions. Why you should listen Amy Cuddy wasn’t supposed to become a successful scientist. In fact, she wasn’t even supposed to finish her undergraduate degree. Early in her college career, Cuddy suffered a severe head injury in a car accident, and doctors said she would struggle to fully regain her mental capacity and finish her undergraduate degree. But she proved them wrong. Today, Cuddy is a professor and researcher at Harvard Business School, where she studies how nonverbal behavior and snap judgments affect people from the classroom to the boardroom. And her training as a classical dancer (another skill she regained after her injury) is evident in her fascinating work on " power posing " -- how your body position influences others and even your own brain.

Want to Become an Impressive Public Speaker? It's Easier Than You Think. Published on July 11, 2016  by Betty Liu,  Founder/CEO at Radiate, Inc. As a television pro, I'm used to speaking to a live audience. Being put on the spot does not frighten me anymore. What does still intimidate me from time to time is speaking to a room full of blinking, live human beings. It's one thing to stare into a camera lens; it's quite another to feel the collective breath and energy of a banquet hall and hope you don't fall flat. Some of the skills required are the same--you need to be articulate, intelligent, and fast-thinking. But being able to command a room from one singular point on stage requires much more, which is why so few people are able to do it successfully (think  Tony Robbins or Gary Vaynerchuk ). You don't have to be 6'7″ or run around in cool looking kicks to stand out, but you can use some of the techniques I've learned below to help make you an...

So You Want to Be a General Counsel?  How to Maximize Your Chances The attributes you need to be a successful general counsel People often argue that leadership and judgment are innate. However, the attributes that companies look for in the general counsel position are a combination of both instinctive and learned, and qualities that people regard as innate can often be developed with practice. We have divided our discussion of these attributes into three areas: the first two areas cover the skills that may be more instinctive or experiential, and the third area illustrates the skills that you can and will need to learn, both legal and non-legal.

MAR 26, 2013 @ 11:03 AM   Words And Phrases That Inspire, Motivate, And Persuade At Work “Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.” ―Rudyard Kipling Words are powerful. They have the ability to inspire, motivate, and persuade; or discourage, dismiss, and dissuade. “With your words, you wield the power to plant seeds of either success or failure in the mind of another, and in the process you reveal who you are, how you think, and what you believe,” says Darlene Price, author of  Well Said! Presentations and Conversations That Get Results . “Whether it’s inspiring a nation, launching a product, building a team, or mending a relationship, the right words spoken at the right time can change history.” It’s important in business to choose your words wisely because they expose the number one ingredient to success: attitude. “In the workplace, a positive collaborative mind-set can mean the difference between landing a job or losing out; winning...
