Kevin, re-read "as-iffing". I had to. As I now understand it, it pertains more to immediate outcome of imminent action, as opposed to long-range, big-picture goals. To me, it means to do what you're about to do, say what you're about to say, etc., as if it is going to have the exact, pitch-perfect outcome as you intend and envision and it is going to be perceived/received that way. This way you will act, say, do it more confidently, effectively, positively.

IMO
