Your posture tells everyone all of the time everything about you!


  1. Poor Posture. 

    Here's the deal, People see poor posture and unconsciously see poor self-esteem. Here's another truth, most people have no idea that they have bad posture! Truth!

    Want to know how you can tell? Here's a simple test: Sit up tall, head over chest over pelvis. Allow the bottom pointy ends of your shoulder blades to pull back and down. Don't FORCE them, allow them to slide back and down. Hold this for a few minutes. Are the muscles in the lower part of your upper back getting tired? Are the muscles in your chest hurting or feeling tight? That's a sure sign that you have poor posture.

    Positioning our bodies a certain way doesn’t just tell people we’re powerful, it actually makes us more powerful. Standing tall and open with connected, strong body postures/ movements directly influences our biochemistry. They increase testosterone, decrease cortisol, and generally make us feel amazing, as well as grounding us and dropping us into our bodies. For example, I teach my clients to engage the muscles that support the bottom pointy ends of their shoulder blades and pull them down and together. This, in turn, opens the heart center and creates true confidence! I call these muscles the Confidence Muscles. Learn how to deeply connect with your body and yourself and you will change your life.

    Again, Open vs. Closed Body Postures and Movements are a dead give away of how Confident we are in ourselves. Rewiring this brain-body connection for yourself is the key to Captivating PresenceTM and Embodied ConfidenceTM that shines through in every situation. Everything is magnified when you are speaking to audiences and this is what will make or break your performance onstage.

    Speaking of power, most people do not own their own personal power. If I can be brutally honest, most people (especially women) have no idea what this is, feels like or even means! Do you want to know what my download was that helped me get (in every fiber of my being) what personal power is? Yes or yes?

    Personal Power-internal direction with the absence of outside forces. Boom. Know what you know. Own it. Listen to it, Implement and BE it. Period. Everything you think and feel and are shows up in your body. So slide back those shoulder blades and stretch out. Move like a badass and you'll feel like a badass! 

    Everything everything everything about us shows up in our bodies!
