Episode 66: Avatars - Designed and Betrayed

An active practice in my community is avatar design and upgrades. Think of an avatar the way you would in a game; the version of yourself you load into a given context, complete with skins (how you present), loadouts (the tools, language, and moves you bring), and upgrades (the trainings and reps that level you up). Sometimes we betray ourselves and show up in the wrong skin, with the wrong kit, for the room we're actually in. Sometimes we get it right and catch ourselves mid-swap, conscious of the version we're deploying and why.This is just a small window into an extremely diverse and powerful concept applicable in all domains of our life. More on this in future episodes. This is an excerpt from a call with my group from late 2024.
