How to use it
How you walk is a signal. Tiny timid steps and loose, unaware strides both read as easy targets. Walk deliberately: a normal stride, head up, aware of where you are. It's safety and presence at once.
How sure we are
P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.
E Evidence: built from practice. What works for coaches and practitioners. Labelled that way.
