5. Authoritative posture and presence.

5. 权威性的姿态和仪容

Take up space. Use the arms on the chair, or stand with your feet a bit apart. A female leg stance in North America is with the feet typically 4 to 6 inches apart, and a male power stance starts with the feet more than 8 inches apart.

要占据一定的空间。使用椅子的扶手或者站立时双脚稍微分开。在北美，女性的站立姿势通常是双脚分开4到6英寸，男性权力的姿势是两脚分开超过8英寸。

When you stand up tall and straight, you send a message of self-assurance, authority and energy.Whether standing or sitting, imagine a string gently pulling your head and spine toward the ceiling. Your weight is evenly balanced, feet solidly on the floor, arms and hands visible, relaxed and uncrossed. Good posture creates a dynamic commanding presence and an attitude of leadership. Conversely, bad posture signals to others that you lack confidence and have low self-esteem or low energy levels.

当你站直腰板的时候，你发出了一种自信、权威和能量的信息。不管你是站着或者坐着，请想象一条绳，从天花板上垂下来轻轻地拉着你的头和脊梁。你的重量被平衡分布，双脚坚实地站在地板上，手臂和手掌露出来、放松并且没有交叉。优美的姿态创造一种威风凛凛的气场，以及一种领导者的气势。相反，糟糕的姿态向其他人传达的信息是，你缺乏信心并且拥有较低的自尊或低能量水平。
