Saying “I changed my mind” in front of people isn’t weakness. It’s proof you were actually listening.

Changing position in public feels like being caught out, so most people defend a take long after they stopped believing it. The opposite reading is more accurate: it means you were actually processing what the other person said instead of waiting to talk. Almost everyone respects it, even the person who was arguing against you.

If something shifts you this week, say so at the time rather than quietly later. Name which part changed your mind, because that tells people you were genuinely listening.
