When you hear someone say, "Bring your whole self to work!" do you think, "Yeah, right! There's no way I'm doing that"? As leaders, we work to compartmentalize ourselves so that we don't let our personal lives get in the way, don't show our vulnerabilities, and don't let anyone think we can't do everything, all of the time. But, being able to be our whole selves at work can be very freeing, as we (John and Lauren) have learned throughout our careers and lives. Join the conversation as we talk about what it means to be authentic, why we try to censor ourselves, and what the risks and rewards are of bringing authenticity into the room.
