- Presence - being in the moment and not self-aware - is a huge driver of success because of both how it frees you up and how people respond
- The mind and the body are deeply connected. You can make yourself feel powerful by doing things with your body — smiling, standing tall
- Power poses — taking up room - actually increase testosterone
- Priming yourself to feel powerful has big impact on performance, outlook, etc.
