You’ve heard about power posing, right?
Using your body language to generate confidence, calm, or sharpness in your brain?
The Wonder Woman pose is the one you hear about most.⠀I’m sure it’s great before speaking on stage. Or walking into a negotiation. (Because a quivering lip does not back up “It’s my way or the highway.”)
But what’s the best power pose for work? For gettin’ shit done?
For me — and I’m dead serious about this — I’m at my most productive and creative when I’m sitting feet-up on the sofa. (With a beverage in arm’s reach.)
Maybe because that posture signals “not really working” to my brain. My neurons think I’m watching Real Housewives. Which, in turn, triggers a response known by scientists as the “I want to” feeling.
And that’s when I get the work done.
Don’t you love science?

Multiple, accentuated by wine and tunes.
You actually look like Wonder Woman, Laura! Love your power pose pic.
YES I do the Wonder Woman pose before a presentation at work and between that and Warrior 2, I’m empowered!
I used to have a Power dance move. Although its aim was actually to get me out of a funk, not make me feel powerful. Worked a treat. Can’t be in a funk when you’re twirling.
