I’m sure other people have noticed this but ever since the zoom meeting has become ubiquitous I have been much more willing to talk freely with more senior, important people. I think it is partially the fact you are sitting at home, but I can’t put my finger on the last part of it. I’ve had no issues asking someone very superior to me for a chat and talking freely with them, there’s no way that I’d do this in person. Just today I had a nice chat with a high-profile researcher and wasnt worried or self-conscious at all. It could be the fact I’m gaining more confidence and would happen in person as well, but I feel like Zoom has fast tracked it.
I’d love to know if this phenomena is more widespread than just me, or if I’m simply finishing my degree and gaining more confidence.
A short blog today but I’ve submitted my final university assignment ever cooked from it. I’ll be back better than ever tomorrow
