  18. High and Low Power • High power (Alpha): Expand, stretch, take up space and opening up. • Ex: Everyone expands to show off power. What’s the first thing they taught you to do when you get face to face with a bear? • Low power: Close-up, wrap up, make yourself small. • Ex: Every poster that displays depression shows a kid in a corner, isolated and all cuddled up.

  19. High and Low Power cont. • High and low power people compliment themselves. One person could be low power with someone and then switch to high power with someone else. Ceo » Manager » Seller • Men use more powerful poses than women

  20. “Fake it till you make it” • “Our non-verbals govern how others think and feel about us. But most importantly, they can have an impact on how you think and feel about yourself.” • It’s been proven that our mind can change our bodies! • Powerful mental: assertive,confident,optimistic,thinkabstractly,take risks. • Powerful physical: testosterone (dominant hormone), very little Cortisol (stress hormone) • Ex: If someone needs to take the place of the alpha’s, in as little as 4 days, there testosterone has increased and there cortisol has decreased significantly. *the body can change the mind.
