Look like a leader Buy new shoes

Look like a leader Buy new shoes Ever since I bought a pair of MBT shoes I have been waiting for the media to jump all over them. I have been waiting for five months, and finally, there is one little tidbit in People magazine: In Greys Anatomy Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl have been wearing sneakers by MBT whose unusual sole makes wearers mimic the way one walks barefoot on sand, working leg, butt and ab muscles. Not surprisingly, People magazine misses the best part of the shoes: They make you stand up taller. In fact, the shoes make it physically impossible to slouch. I wear the shoes about two hours a day and they have actually trained me to stand and walk differently more upright, better posture. (This is probably why Pilates teachers love the shoes.) Youre probably wondering how I am going to relate this to careers. Hold on. When I was playing professional beach volleyball, one thing I noticed is that all the players had amazing posture. I used to think it was from using our abdominal muscles every time we hit the ball. But when I switched careers and started slouching I did a lot of sit-ups to no avail. Now, after wearing MBT shoes, I realize the great volleyball posture comes from walking in the sand all day. Heres why you need the shoes for your career: Because people who stand up straight look stronger and more confident, and those are traits people want in leaders. The shoes can actually improve your charisma.
