Note: This episode was recorded when this show was known as Human Internet Theory.
Maybe you've heard of "power posing" as a quick fix for confidence. The science behind that famous idea has (kind of) been retracted. In this episode of Human Internet Theory, I look into what happened to the power pose, why the simple "life hack" model failed, and what the latest science says now.
This episode covers:
* The history of the original power pose study and its retraction
* What current research says about postural feedback.
* The small, subjective effect your posture might have on your mood.
* Why a "neutral pose" may be more beneficial than an "expansive" one.
The episode includes three exercises you can use before and during your next recording session. You will practice finding your "baseline neutral pose," learn a "physical anchoring" technique to get grounded, and integrate "dynamic posture" with your natural gestures. This episode gives you a realistic, evidence-based approach to improving your physical presence and confidence on camera.
