amy cuddy on ted.com: your body language shapes who you are

I find Amy Cuddy —

Inspirational. So inspirational, I’m loading this on all the sites. Yay! And not just because her own story is so stark and amazing, but because she is sharing so much with other people in her research and her efforts. And — I’m going to make every pitch student watch this clip. Maybe you should watch it too.

I suspect part of the reason I respond to this so strongly is, when you are in the arts, there is a real sense sometimes that you are getting away with something, that you are an imposter and someday everyone will figure it out and the jig will be up. That whisper, “You are not supposed to be here.” I know that whisper.
