that moment when you realize
that your first imminent all schools faculty webinar is in a zoom format
the next moment
when you pull off an instant makeover
and do the best you can to get your look together
the final moment
when your i.t. person clarifies that it will strictly be
a presentation given by our head of schools
no one else will be seen on screen
and you feel a certain sense of relief.

You know, there’s nothing you can do about your public image. It is what it is. I just try to do things honestly. I guess honesty is what you would call subjective: if you feel good about what you’re doing, yourself, if you figure you’re doing the right thing. -Christoper Walken

I am sure there are millions who can relate to this right now. Full disclosure, I am grateful any meetings we’ve had so far have only been audio. I would attend video meetings in my bedhead hair because that’s my honest self for right now. I get up and I am what I am. 🙂

The images of ourselves that we’re sharing in The New Way surely are a wake-up moment for many of us, Beth.

I’m petrified, now that I’m on live meetings multiple times a day. Everything, the image, what if I forget I’m live. There are many funny examples of what could happen now.

So very true. Pictures are adorable. No one looks like themselves on a screen. Well, maybe the dogs, but then they always look awake and like themselves. 🙂
