One thing that I've learned rather late in life is that what other people think of me is none of my business.  It is a corollary to not controlling people, places and things around me.  My success in these efforts enhances my serenity tremendously.  It is thus amazing how difficult it is for me to remember these principles.

Nice concept.  Are you thinking that it is the coach, or one of the posters, who should (or does) use that philosophy?

(I presume "other people" refer to the people with whom you have no relationship.  I don't think it is a good concept to apply to how a spouse or boss or employee thinks of you.)
