Authenticity is a choice we make about who we want to be that inspires our greater aliveness.

Authenticity is our natural state of being. The authentic self is a state of being where we are centered, creative, adaptive, and inspired.

Our suppressing who we are to fit in is exhausting. It kills flow and creativity. It also prevents genuine connection with others.

Being true to ourselves is about having courage to define our own version of what it is to live a successful life.

Confused? Confusion is good. It’s an excellent place to learn something new from.

Practice holding labels lightly as leaders so you have greater range in your behaviors and are more adaptable and effective in a greater range of situations.

Authentic leadership is at the root of cultures of great innovation, engagement, outstanding client experiences, and growth.

The struggle to live up to an “ideal image” of who we should be in order to feel safe misdirects and depletes our energy.

To return to our authenticity, we have to let go of all that we are not. We recognize and let go of the judgments, fears, and “shoulds” that keep us stuck.

Authentic leadership is leading adaptively from your core, choosing who you’re most inspired to be to serve the greatest good in this moment.

Authentic leadership is a whole body experience. Our bodies have a lot more to teach us about ourselves than our thoughts.

If you want to be sad, no one in the world can make you happy. But if you make up your mind to be happy, no one and nothing on earth can take that happiness from you.
