Are you a bookshelf background person? A kids, kitchen, and/or cats person? A fake library or floating in space person?
Or are you coming to us from the midst of a digital blur?
Whichever is true for you, it’s a statement.
As described in this quote from an interview with Kio Stark, co-author of The Cult of Done Manifesto:
“One thing I would actually advise, and I don’t know if this is good professional advice or not, but I think when your background is not simply a white wall, when it’s your bookcase or your living room, people realize that they are seeing where you live your life. As opposed to in-person, the visual connection we can make with people isn’t seeing their body language as much as it is seeing their environment.”
I couldn’t agree more.
As Socrates said, “The unexamined background is not worth Zooming.”

P.S. Thanks to Achim for pointing me to the manifesto (and great explainer video)!
