White & VIBGYOR
White & VIBGYOR. That’s all of us.
Some see only the white — the surface, the simple, the obvious.
Some see all the colors — each emotion, each context, each nuance.
And some? They understand that white is made of VIBGYOR — that what looks simple is often a spectrum of complexity underneath.
That’s the beauty (and the chaos) of working with human beings. We’re wired with oxytocin boost, cortisol spikes, amygdala alarms, and perception filters that color every interaction.
Everyone’s perception is their truth. You think you’re projecting calm white light — but someone else may be seeing a blinding red or a distant indigo. This perception gap can define the quality of your life and work.
Here are a few perception points that shape how you’re seen by others— sometimes without a word being said.
How you handle stress defines your brand. Performance matters, but composure matters more. Everyone watches how you respond when things go sideways. Calm isn’t just an inner state — it’s a signal. And when you act during chaos, remember: solutions need empathy too. How others feel about your fix matters as much as the fix itself.
Work doesn’t speak unless you give it a voice. The daily grind is invisible — because everyone’s grinding. Progress doesn’t count if no one sees it. So share wins, even the small ones. Give updates. Show up in forums that highlight your craft. Own your narrative.
Success is a double-edged sword. Your wins might inspire, but they might also intimidate. Some may hold back from collaborating. That’s why alliances matter. Humility matters. Share credit. Stay approachable.Your brilliance should feel like a campfire — not a spotlight.
Your words shape your influence. Speak with precision. In a world overloaded with words, brevity is power. Adapt to your audience’s communication style. Say less, mean more.
People don’t just see you — they perceive you. The real work? Bridging the gap between what you intend and what they interpret.
White or VIBGYOR — don’t just be seen. Be understood.
