“Authenticity” is all about being real. Genuine, not an imitation of someone else. Way to often we get along with others and conform to what everybody else is doing. Read on to learn more about the value to be authentic. May these quotes on authenticity inspire you to be true to who you are more often.
Being authentic
As a content creator and entrepreneur, I strive to be transparent and authentic in conversations that I have. That’s incredibly important to me, since I have found that super valuable in other people. Honesty creates the space and environment for people to say what they want to say, to share ideas without feeling judged and to feel free to be who you are, no matter where you are from.
During my working hours I’ve seen so many people trying to cover their mistakes, searching for words that make them look better, or to share half-truths. In every work environment it’s important to create a culture in which people feel free to admit their flaws and get the chance to correct them. I truly respect every person who is able to say he or she made a mistake, is willing to apologize, and is going to find a way to correct the behavior.
But I also have found that other people – whether partners, customers, readers etc, all immensely appreciate honesty and sincerity too. I can’t say often enough how much business, besides data and science, also comes down to more human components like trust, honesty and integrity. Good entrepreneurs and storytellers understand the importance to be authentic and transparent and act upon that.
