- Power Posing Revisited
Amy Cuddy’s original 2010 claim — that two minutes of expansive posture changes hormone levels and risk-taking — failed to replicate reliably, and even one of the original co-authors distanced herself from the hormonal mechanism.

The honest take: posture matters, the original claims were overreached, and the useful practices are simpler and more defensible than the original study suggested. - Lead from the influencing domain — take charge, speak up, make sure others are heard
