The 10 Minute Leadership Podcast

Our words are impactful. What we say, how we say it, when we say it.. will make a difference.

We will also remind ourselves the importance of being impeccable with our words. Thank you for tuning in, and enjoy this episode! 

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Dr. Amy Cuddy argues that "power posing" -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don't feel confident -- can boost feelings of confidence, and might have an impact on our chances for success. In this episode of The 10 Minute Leadership Podcast, I will follow Dr. Cuddy's work and make the connection between body language and leadership. I highly recommend watching Dr. Cuddy's outstanding TED Talk about body language:

Have you ever heard a story from someone you might know that simply shocked you? If you are an inquisitive person (or even if you're not), the answer is probably.. yes! You see, we all view and make sense of the world differently. We can elevate our leadership style by making an effort to not only learn about the people on our teams, but also enter their existence by imagining what it would be like if you had experienced what they are experiencing. A lot of it has to do with empathy, but also some of us who are less empathic can exercise this solid leadership trait. Learn how in this episode of The 10 Minute Leadership Podcast!
