 The definition of full circle, is to return to the same situation or attitude one once had, which is important to note. Associate Professor at Harvard Business School and social psychologist, proves the positive correlation between non-verbals and the mind in the TED talk, "Amy Cuddy: Your body language shapes who you are." Studies completed at Harvard assess human cognitive, emotional and behavioral endurance during high stress environment: a job interview. Through biological and evolutionary research Dr. Cuddy bonds the power of posing; arms wide, chest out and head up for just two minutes with significant improvement of cognitive, emotional and behavioral endurance. Grossing as the most popular TED talk, Dr. Cuddy often stutters, pauses and back tracks during her first minute; questioning her professionalism. Quickly she adapts and by end it is clear Dr. Cuddy has positively influenced her audience through the use of composition, logos and pathos. Enhancing understanding in the value of power posing. While it is human nature to concentrate on others body languages; one does not consciously appreciate the extent at which their own non-verbal's effect the outcome of events.

In the opening Dr. Cuddy uses transitions such as, "um" followed by a pause while she thought about the next idea. Great leaders and speakers are distinguished by their ability to avoid natural sentence fillers and minimize pauses. The style and diction mixed with Cuddy's

inherent lisp has the audience questioning her credibility. Surprisingly correct, the beginning of the speech provides background into another psychological fields; information 

Cuddy studies but is not qualified to speak about. The overall appearance and delivery of her speech, composition, changes when sharing her studies and or research. While Dr. Cuddy uncomfortably talks about recognizing body languages, she uses pictures and videos to create an image instead of depicting. The talk develops using detailed descriptive language of high and low power body poses; in addition to charts and graphs to illustrate statistics. At this point Dr. Cuddy or quick pictures are the focal point of the speech but her thesis is revealed it was clear the talk will inspire. 

It helps to be tall, attractive and smart but contrast and negative versus positive space on stage create a more consistent speaker than Cuddy. Between a lighter contrast and heightening darkness, the audience has no choice but to pay attention. Now, Dr. Cuddy and her voice become the focal point, leaving the audience with her appearance and the delivery. In turn exploiting a more credible speaker. Dr. Cuddy effectively grasps the audiences' attention through use of composition; even though Dr. Cuddy is professional and credible she has not made a lasting impression on the audience yet.

 Dr. Cuddy reinforces previous notions that our minds can change our bodies. But challenges the fact that if our minds can change our bodies, can our bodies change our minds.

Challenging the notion that non-verbal's intentions are to communicate with others; but what if those non verbal's resulted in internal cognitive, behavioral and emotional improvement. Dr. Cuddy simplifies her research to employ logos, a logical thought, throughout her talk. The

various studies, statistics and comparisons Cuddy explained leave the audience knowing that if the mind can change the body; does it not make sense that the body can change the mind? The first study Cuddy introduces, brushes the surface explaining how the body influences the mind. A study of the pride pose, by Jessica Tracy assistant of Dr. Cuddy, says weather you were born with sight or without; after winning a physical competition even if you had never seen a pride pose, you threw your hands up when you reached victory. Tracy identified that the initial reaction to victory weather you had seen it before or not; was to show pride by lifting the arms and tilting the head. Dr. Cuddy then discusses how the pride pose is a non-verbal expression of power, a high power pose. She compares these poses to one of an ape or gorilla in the animal kingdom. It's logical that opening up and taking up space exerts dominance. Evolutionarily speaking, it is logical that women are more likely to excerpt a low power pose while males exert high power poses (Cuddy 10:53). Dr. Cuddy furthers her experiment by testing hormone levels before a two-minute pose and then after accepting or declining the option to gamble. Testosterone, dominance hormone, increased by eighty-six percent after high power posing and decreased by ten percent after low power posing. Cortisol, stress hormone, decreased twenty-five percent after high power poses and increased by fifteen percent after low power poses (Cuddy 11:16). Logically speaking, Cuddy found high power posers will gamble eighty-six percent of the time; compared to sixty percent of lower power posers. After verifying that the body can in fact change the mind, Dr. Cuddy poses the question, "if the body can in fact change the mind, to what extent does it occur" (Cuddy 15:10)?

The end of Dr. Cuddy's TED talk contradicts the notion that Dr. Cuddy is unprofessional or unreliable. The use of Pathos, appealing to emotions and values, is more prevalent in the last 

five minutes than the first fifteen. More prevalent than her use of vivid language throughout the entire speech, depicting every detail of how her male students walked into the lecture hall verses her female students. More prevalent than any inspirational quote that changed an outlook on life. Dr. Cuddy discovers that after intense interviews, and third party decisions, the high power posers were chosen for the job. But not for content, rather their presence. High power posers felt like they should be there while low power posers were nervous and rather shy; complementing the practiced pose. But Dr Cuddy posed the question again,"can one really fake it till they make it" (Cuddy 14:28). Can one actually fake a power pose long enough they become apart of a group they once felt excluded from? Dr. Cuddy pauses, then begins again in a new tone and the "ums" or pauses noticeably disappear. She was speaking from personal experience and the audience can tell. In college she was in a bad accident resulting in a drop in IQ score and the doctor insisting she would never finish college. After working hard and getting lucky multiple times she ended up at Princeton. Before her first year talk, twenty minutes to twenty people, she called her advisor and told her she felt fake; like she was not supposed to be here. Her adviser encouraged her, exclaiming how she took a gamble on her, that she could do it. Saying she had to fake it until she had an out of body experience and then realized, I am actually doing it. Fast-forward to the end of her first year teach at Harvard Business, a student who failed to participate in class came into her office. After discussion, the students answers Dr. Cuddy's question, "I am not supposed to be here right now" (Cuddy 18:42). Dr. Cuddy cries

on stage as the audience stomach drops, knowing the world had come full circle. Once she can speak, Cuddy says "that was the moment for me because I realized I don't feel like that anymore but she does and I get that feeling"(Cuddy 19:33)! It was an of body experience which 

only Cuddy can feel, and after she knew she did not just fake it till she made it, she faked it until she became it. After a brief pauses Cuddy continues looking into the audience, "Don't fake it till you make it, fake it until you become it" (Cuddy 19:48). Explaining that our bodies change our minds and our minds change our behavior and our behavior changes our outcomes. If the world individually made tiny tweaks, it would result with big changes. 

The inspirational quotes along with the all powerful real life story touch the hearts and minds of the audience. Forcing one to forget the "ums" and pauses that typically represent an unprofessional. Analyzing Dr Cuddy's TED talk, Amy Cuddy: "Your body language shapes who you are," it is clear Cuddy exceeds using composition, logos and pathos to prove a point.  While the focus of Dr. Cuddy's TED talk is the positive effect of power posing, the underlying message lies within analysis. Dr. Cuddy's unprofessional speech embodies the struggle she endeared as a child. But as she continues you begin to understand Cuddy as a human, not a psychologist. Dr. Cuddy believes the out of body experience she encountered when life came full circle, should be shared to strengthen ones' abilities. Dr. Cuddy ends her talk encouraging the audience to share the science because the people who need power posing the most are the ones with no resources. Enforcing the full circle mentality of her talk; because Power posing takes two minutes and all you need is yourself.
