Imagine you're walking around in a protective bubble. Sounds a bit sci-fi, right? But this bubble is your personal space, your sphere of influence. Now, what happens when you let that bubble collapse? You become smaller, less impactful. You lose your influence.

I once coached a CEO who was terrified of public speaking. We used this bubble visualisation technique, and it was transformative. She went from shrinking on stage to owning it. Her audience saw her as powerful and in control.

Your bubble isn't a barrier; it's your domain. You can shake hands, sit in meetings, and still maintain it. The trick is not to let anyone burst your bubble. Before your next big meeting, spend 30 seconds visualising this space. Feel it expand and take it with you into the room. You'll be amazed at how it changes your mental state and your impact.
