Transmission

The quality of presence people can feel without anyone explaining it.

What it is

Transmission is the part of presence that travels without words. When something really changes inside a person, people around them pick it up before they can say what changed: kids, coworkers, even someone on the other end of a video call.

It’s why you can’t fake calm for long, and why real change tends to spread.
