The Benefit of Power Posing Before… : DASH Story 2015-01-16
Story content
I am a cybersecurity professional who is often called upon to speak on issues that affect personal, commercial and natoional security. The audience is often not receptive to the messages I am charged with delivering. My experience is that my nonverbal body language is either an asset or a detriment in these situations - one or the other. If that i the case, then I need nonverbal to work as an asset. If nonverbal can provide additional benefit as a preparation prior to an engagement, then that needs to be understood and exploited as well.
The stakes for me are often high. I will use any tool to improve my chances of successfully delivering my message. "Successful delivery" means the audience will take action to improve their over-all cyberdefense posture and capabilities. We can ask Target, SONY and the Iranian nuclear program (Stuxnet) about the consequences of a low cyberdefense standard.
So thank you for making this research article available to the public.
