The idea of authenticity may seem like a squishy one. It’s such a subjective concept, and yet there is something within all of us that respects and responds to those who are real with us.
This week’s Fierce Tip encourages you to look at the conversations you are having where you may be faking it. Then look at the type of relationship you have with those people and ask yourself: Is this what I want with this relationship?
If the answer is no, take this opportunity and begin to change that. At Fierce we believe the conversation is the relationship, so if you want a more authentic relationship, you need to start by having more authentic conversations.
The people in your less genuine relationships might not know what to make of your new behavior. They might not even like it, and that is okay. All you can control in this situation is you.
