Globoforce^®,
a leading provider of social recognition solutions, today announced
social psychologist and Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy as a
keynote speaker for the WorkHuman
2016 conference, May 9-11 in Orlando, Florida. The WorkHuman
conference, pioneered by Globoforce, brings together the brightest stars
in the growing community of human-focused organizations and leaders to
discuss and propel the future of the human workplace.

Cuddy will join business guru Gary Hamel and happiness expert Shawn
Achor, who were recently announced as keynote speakers for WorkHuman
2016. Cuddy’s highly-anticipated book, Presence: Bringing Your
Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges, has been named an Amazon
“Best of the Month” book for December 2015.

“Amy is one of the foremost thinkers on how our personal body language,
poise, and presence affect how others see us,” said Julie Zadow,
executive director of WorkHuman. “By helping people understand how to
liberate themselves from self-doubt, she has become a leading voice for
empowerment as a driver of personal performance and connection with
others.”

“Our bodies change our minds, and our minds can change our behavior, and
our behavior can change our outcomes. Embracing these truths at work can
dramatically change how people present themselves and how they interact
with and empower others,” said Cuddy. “These are key ingredients to
building a more human workplace, and I look forward to sharing this
research at WorkHuman 2016.”

Cuddy is Associate Professor and Hellman Faculty Fellow in the
Negotiation, Organizations Markets Unit at Harvard Business School.
She holds a PhD in Psychology from Princeton University and BA in Social
Psychology from the University of Colorado. Her research has been
published in top academic journals, including Journal of
Personality and Social Psychology and Trends in Cognitive Sciences, and
covered by news outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times
and the Wall Street Journal. She has spoken at PopTech, TED,
TEDGlobal, and SXSW Interactive. Her 2012 TEDTalk ("Your Body Language
Shapes Who You Are"), ranks among the top 5 most popular TEDTalks of all
time. In May 2013, Business Insider named Cuddy as one of "50
Women Who are Changing the World." In 2014, Amy was named a Young Global
Leader by the World Economic Forum.
