Elekieli vaikuttaa muiden arvioon meistä, mutta myös siihen, miten itse näemme itsemme. Sosiaalipsykologi Amy Cuddy kertoo, miten  "voima-asennoilla" -- itsevarmassa asennossa seisomisesta, vaikka olo ei olisikaan itsevarma -- voi olla vaikutusta aivojen testosteroni- ja kortisolitasoihin ja menestysmismahdollisuuksiimme.

In experiments, people who adopted expansive 'power poses' saw their testosterone rise and cortisol drop, making them feel more confident and perform better in high-pressure situations like job interviews. Even those who felt like impostors reported profound shifts simply from pretending to be powerful. Small, private adjustments to body language can open doors to new opportunities.
