 View the following video on power posing: https://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are, and read the short article describing it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2018/04/03/power-posing-is-back-amy-cuddy-successfully-refutes-criticism/#ef264b53b8ef (there’s a link to the original study in the article). 

Why and how do you think power poses work, and why did they receive so much skepticism in the past? Try a few power poses and discuss if you believe they could really work, or if they are just a placebo effect. Have you tried or will you try one of these the next time you need some confidence, and if so, in what types of situations?
