Body language impacts your brain and your personality. Amy Cuddy’s TED Talk highlighted this reality a few years ago. But why limit yourself to the same boring Wonder Woman pose? There is an endless choreography of BAMF poses you can try to feel more powerful. Here are a few.

 1. The Commander

For AP BAMFing, try the one-arm-hair-flip-glasses-dangle.

Words are inadequate.

Remember, when it comes to power poses, take it slow.

It’s not about how you look but how you’ll feel as you conquer.
