Easing back into doing public talks after taking ~2y off
Need a new stage persona. My current default of âenergetic graceless chatterboxâ has insufficient gravitas and halo for 42+
Trying to decide between dark-and-brooding, avuncular-Bruce-Sterling-lite and MumblingGenius đ€

Work back from yourself & the persona will manifest for itself. Aka donât manufacture it.

Manufacture it all you want but youâll oscillate between this awkward âDesired State VGRâ vs. âNatural VGRâ, only to default towards your natural self. Why? Over time, like anything, youâll get change.

Point taken but they donât stay in same character for 5-7 years at a time.

Theyâre pros, itâs just a hobby for the rest of us đ
âNaturalâ personality is often just a controlled stress response to being on stage. We canât all have the acting range of day Hugh Laurie but we can have *some* fun based on the event mood.
