My guest today is TED speaker and bestselling author, Amy Cuddy. Amy is a social psychologist that rose to fame after her TED Talk “Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are” became a worldwide sensation with over 62 million views and growing. She wrote the book, Presence, which became a New York Times bestseller, and was a professor at Harvard Business School. We talk about her mentor, body language, and overcoming uncertainty during this podcast episode.

The 5 questions I ask in this episode:

What role did your mentor Susan Fiske play in helping you shape your career?
Your TED Talk and research focuses on body language. How does our body language shape how people perceive us when we’re connecting and working remotely instead of in person?
What types of struggles did you endure over the past year during the pandemic and how did you overcome them?
What is Pandemic Flux syndrome and how do we get through it?
What’s your best piece of career advice?
