Authenticity as a character trait means a lot of things to a lot of people. For some, it is nothing more than a justification to say or do whatever they want. For others, it’s a little more subtle. Being authentic is not a performance as much as an honest relationship with ourselves. On the whole, we don’t like or trust people who come across as phony and false. We seek friends and colleagues who are genuine.

Often we judge a person's authenticity by how aligned their actions and values are or by the passion and commitment they have for what they say and do. We feel comfort in just being, standing up for what we believe in, and speaking our truth even if it is not what others want to hear.

It begs the question, authentic to what? What is authenticity and how do we embody it? Join us as we explore authenticity, its meaning and its impact on our lives.
