Authenticity represents a deeper self that may be hidden beneath a polished exterior commonly presented in professional environments. Women often wear armor, a protective layer formed to navigate systems that are not accommodating. The armor can manifest in behaviors such as over-preparing or people-pleasing. To embrace authenticity, one must identify their armor, recognize their genuine self, and create space for authenticity to emerge. Leading from authenticity allows one to influence and inspire others to reveal their true selves.
Authenticity is presence, not performance. It is the grounded, wise part of you that knows who you are, even when others don't yet see it.
When you lead from authenticity, you create ripple effects that impact those around you, encouraging them to embrace their true selves.
Knowing what your armor looks like is crucial. Armor can manifest as over-preparing, people-pleasing, hiding ideas, or conforming to dominant cultural norms.
Recognizing and naming your authenticity involves tapping into how it feels in your body and energy, trusting that your worth is not performance-based.
