In this episode, Joel and Antonia talk about how we project and cast images in three primary ways: externally, internally, and philosophically.
In this podcast you’ll find:
- What do we mean when we talk about image management? Joel shares an example of the image-management he has a tendency to display as a parent when out in public.
- Judging a book by its cover – Antonia unpacks this metaphor and it’s value in relation to image management.
- Viewing image management through the lens of the extraverted judging functions; Harmony (Fe) and Effectiveness (Te).
- Why the ideal of not caring what others think isn’t necessarily a helpful or realistic option.
- What’s the difference between internal and external image management?
- Philosophical image management – Joel introduces this concept and provides a real-life example.
- Where our beliefs and paradigms fit into image management.
- The complexities of achieving the right balance between individualism and collectivism – and why this is context dependent.
- A birds-eye view of our relationship with image management as we grow from infancy to adulthood.
- Mastering your relationship with image management when you are undertaking personal-growth work.
- Why social media brings heightened expectations and increased pressure to manage your external presentation.
- Some final thoughts on philosophical image management and the need to question its importance and role in your life.

I feel like part of a rapid response division in regard to everything and I can’t help it. All too aware of how actions affect people and what actions need to be taken to remedy situations. This often leaves me feeling like I come across as spineless phony (Or at least that’s what my inner critic tells me).
Some of the work I’ve been doing involves checking in with myself to see how I feel and what I think about situations. Not displaying concern just because a situation seems to call for it but because I have taken time to assess the situation and find within myself a genuine expression (of whatever kind)
