The one thing that I want to learn in the next three months to advance my career opportunities is the talent or skill to control myself or be confident in front of people. I’m easily scared of talking with strangers or needing to deal with something suddenly, like solving a problem at that time. I know I need to be confident not only in this work tourism industry but all the jobs need a confident worker that can solve a problem. So I hope that I can learn and practice new skills or tricks to be more confident, especially when I need to talk.

The name of the speaker - Amy Cuddy

Speaker's experience/qualifications - Amy Cuddy is a social psychologist, study prejudice and teach at competitive business school, do research and studies on posture human behaviour based of the process of science at work. 

The video content that Amy Cuddy give talk are about the body language may shape or will show whose you are. Body language is also called nonverbal behaviour by social scientists. This body language can also be used as communication or interaction with another person like wink your eyes or hand shake. Other than that, body language can also be used to make judgments and inferences toward other people. In this video she talks about the nonverbal expressions of power dominance. People will make themselves big, stretch out or open up their bodies when they are in a happy situation, while people in sad situations will do the opposite, which is to close up or wrap themselves. The same goes when people at work talk with someone that has a higher position. They will either humble themselves or make themselves smaller. That means they respect that person. Body language can also change the mind about thoughts and feelings. Forming the feelings and thoughts from the mind can make people confident and more optimistic, as can be seen from her body language. At least at the facial level, the body can shape the mind, and role changes can also shape the mind. When they have confidence, they have the tendency to take risks. Next is about the power of posing. The presence power possesses that people can see that she is captivating, enthusiastic, passionate, confident and authentic.

In that video, there is so much valuable output that I can learn from Amy Cuddy's speech, that body language that we show or how we react to other people can also show who we are. The most memorable part is that our posture and body language when doing or reacting to something can also change our mind to be more positive and confident. The last part of the video, she mentions that in some situations, we need to make up an expression to adapt to the situation. Because in some situations, we need to fake it until we make it. Example, we still need to give speeches to everyone, just like everybody else does there, even though we don’t like it. What we should do is pretend like we are volunteering and happy to give a speech or talk, so fake it until we become it. Just show confidence in your body language. She also said in quotes that our bodies change our minds, and our minds change our behaviour, and our behaviour also changes our outcomes.
