Before joining the staff at Harvard, Amy worked as an associate professor at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management as well as an assistant professor of Psychology at Rutgers University. Her research has produced a number of crucial discoveries in figuring out how humans think. She has developed what is called the Stereotype Content Model and the Behaviors from Intergroup Affect and Stereotypes Map. Both are used to track judgements of participants and find out how these judgements shape human emotion and behaviors.

In December of 2015, TED Speaker Amy Cuddy published her first book titled Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges. In it she teaches readers how to access their personal power and turn anxious and nerve-wracking situations like job interviews and work conflicts into shining moments of confidence. She calls it finding your presence, a state one can achieve in which you stop worrying about people’s impression of you and focus on adjusting the impression we have of ourselves.
