Yeah, she's wonderful. So you know Valerie. So she would be more qualified than I, but I do think it is serving multiple communicative functions that we used to do in other ways. And I do agree with you that it is, as language becomes less formal, Words like like and other types of contractions are becoming more commonplace. And I think it's fascinating.

We're also seeing it at least in written text with emojis and other graphics that are serving a similar purpose.

So does a thumbs up on a contract represent? I mean, that's right. That's the question. And I actually think with the evolution of language from my perspective, that at some point, things like that will be the case.

That's right. Thumbs up. Interesting. Yeah. But that's what makes communication so exciting is that it's ever evolving, right? And to me, I find that really exciting. It's not stagnant.

I think confidence is essential. It's hardwired in us to pay attention to those that are confident and those that aren't. Now, when we talk about confidence, I'm not talking about over-indexing and being arrogant or super overconfident. I teach at one of the world's best business schools. We spend a lot of time talking about arrogance.

It's not about that, but it is about having confidence not only in yourself, but in the messages that you communicate. And finding that nice balance of managing the anxiety, the passion that you have, that really makes a difference. Those are ingredients that go into charisma. We really don't know what charisma is, but having confidence in yourself and in your content is an important part of that.

That's a great question, and it's one that I don't think we have a good answer to. You know, confident people act confidently. If you act confidently, you can actually become confident. So it's a mix. Certainly, we are good at detecting people who are putting on airs. So it has to be authentic, and it has to come from a place of, you know... knowing who you are.
