Authentic. This word is having its moment.
Everyone is striving to prove their authenticity through "transparent" and "vulnerable" posts. The trend has moved beyond the self help industry, now showing up in conference rooms and marketing plans. Because if you're not authentic you're not to be trusted, right?
Along the way we've lost sight of what the word means, choosing instead to synonymize authenticity with being an open book. An unintended side effect? Those of us who have something to share but don't want to share our whole lives remain in the shadows.
In this episode we're exploring how to show up as a human at work, connecting with people through our experiences. I share how I decided to branch off my personal brand from my business and interrupt the most common myths about building one.
If you're yearning for a space to let your real self breathe, this episode is for you.
