Summary: We all face times of uncertainty in our life, careers or business. Throughout our journey of achieving success, we are constantly faced with these situations. This was a very grounding book by Amy Cuddy. She took us, her readers on a journey of accessing our personal power and bringing out our best self in the most challenging moments. This book was a TED-Talk inspired book by, Harvard psychologist Amy Cuddy that developed the idea of “Presence”, a concept that can help everyone achieve the results they want in life. She discusses several factors that contribute to developing Presence, including body language, excitement, confidence and boldness. Allow me to read you a quote from the book: “Presence stems from believing in and trusting yourself – your real, honest feelings, values, and abilities. That’s important, because if you don’t trust yourself, how can others trust you?” So lets dive in on some of my key nuggets from this amazing book.
