Amy Cuddy interpretation of the nonverbal, physical ways that people compose themselves was informative and interesting. I agree that when people mentally and physically open themselves up to others, it is a clear reflection of their confidence. I liked that she compared humans to the animals in the wild, providing an example of birds opening their wings compared to celebrities reaching out with their arms. As an observer to see a leader hunched over is far less reassuring than one that is standing tall and embracing the crowd.
