Brilliant breakdown of how perception actually creates confidence. The silhouette breakdown really clarified something I've noticed at work meetigns but couldn't articulate. When I started paying attentionto how structured vs soft outlines changed how people responded to me in presentations, it was kinda wild to see the difference. The way this reframes confidence from internal state to external signal is incredibly useful.
Wow, you blew my mind (as always)! The people you chose as examples were absolutely perfect! I especially love the inclusion of Mr. Rogers.
It’s funny how I wouldn’t think of him when I hear the word “confidence”. Maybe it’s because I’ve worked in tech too long, but my definition of confidence shifted over the years. I typically think that the loudest person in the room making their opinions known to anyone in earshot is the “confident” one. But soft confidence holds so much power.
Loud doesn’t equal confidence. Quiet authority might be the way forward.

You sound very confident and please do more of these. We all need your pep talks.
Tell me if there’s any in particular you want me to do next, and I’ll add them to the top of my list. 🖤

I couldn’t agree more
@chipoglesby Mr. Rogers was my favorite person to research for this piece - thought of you
