This week, Helen and Sarah talk about authenticity at work and why the ‘bring your whole self to work’ advice really isn’t that easy to do. They discuss how you can work out what authenticity means to you, how to create team cultures where people feel comfortable to be themselves and when and why it can be beneficial to be selective about what you share. Not an easy topic, but some interesting insights to take away.
