A boost of confidence . When you ’ re facing a communications challenge — or just feeling tired , distracted , or less than your best self — your avatar can lift you up to the next level . You ’ ve chosen the qualities that define your best self and practiced stepping into them at will . Now you can communicate with confidence , knowing that you radiate your Avatar ’ s qualities .
An understudy . In the theater , an understudy is someone who waits in the wings , ready to take the stage when the star can ’ t go on . You are the star of your business , but sometimes , we all would prefer to stay home and lie low while someone else takes our place in the limelight .
That someone is your Avatar . Once you and your Avatar have developed a close , trusting relationship , it ’ s easy to imagine that you ’ re not just putting your best foot forward when you become your Avatar — you ’ re actually sending someone else to do the job you ’ re just not up to doing that day .
Inspiration for who you can be . It recently occurred to me that Avatars are not just for public speaking . So lately , I ’ ve been sending Jezra Warrior Princess to fill in for Real Jezra when RJ is struggling with some behind-the-scenes work task . Unlike Real Jezra , Jezra Warrior Princess is calm and fearless . Watching her in action reminds me that Real Jezra can be that way , too .
