This workshop explores how authenticity manifests not just as an abstract value, but as a practical choice made in everyday workplace moments. Participants will discover how seemingly small decisions—speaking a difficult truth, acknowledging a mistake, or expressing genuine appreciation—create ripple effects that transform both interpersonal connectivity and organizational culture. Through evidence-based frameworks and real-world examples, attendees will gain concrete strategies for identifying pivotal moments where authentic choices matter most.
Building on the understanding that authenticity requires both awareness and courage, this workshop bridges the gap between knowing and doing. We’ll examine the three levels of impact authentic actions create—on self, relationships, and culture—while providing practical tools for overcoming the most common barriers to authentic expression in professional settings.
Participants will leave equipped to transform their workplace interactions through small, intentional choices that align their external actions with their internal values.
