Amy Cuddy

A bold and captivating voice in the field of social psychology, Dr. Amy Cuddy demystifies the science behind power, presence, body language, and social bravery—and shares how we can leverage it to achieve personal and professional success.  

Widely recognized for her enduringly popular TED Talk, “Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are,” which has over 72 million views and was named by The Guardian as “One of 20 Online Talks that Could Change Your Life,” Amy Cuddy explores the question: “How can we take control of our own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in ways that boost our confidence, presence, performance, courage, and overall well-being?”

Amy conveys a rare combination of wisdom and deep expertise — along with an honest, warm-hearted accessibility and openness. Whether she’s talking to a group of 100 or 20,000, she creates an unparalleled intimacy with her audiences. Engaging deeply with listeners and bestowing advice that is both practical and profound, she enthralls and inspires audiences with evidence-based and immediately-actionable tips for achieving greater success – demonstrating how harnessing our personal power can liberate us from fear and connect us with others, making us more present, compelling, and courageous.

After earning her Ph.D. at Princeton University, Amy was a professor at Harvard Business School and Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Throughout her academic career, she’s been honored with some of the highest commendations for both her teaching and her research, including the Excellence in Teaching Award from Harvard University and the Scientific Impact Award from the Society for Experimental Social Psychology. 

Amy’s bestselling book Presence, which has sold more than half a million copies and been published in 35 languages, was described in The New York Times Sunday Book Review, “Cuddy brings an abundance of humility and charm to the page. Her presence itself – her openhearted desire to help the insecure and the uneasy in this age of anxiety – shines through. Presence feels at once concrete and inspiring, simple but ambitious – above all, truly powerful.”
