Many people feel as though they must switch identities when they move
between their work life and home life. This often leaves people longing
to lead a "seamless" life, one in which the separate parts of our
personalities are united as a whole. The key to achieving this quality
of life is authenticity, the ability to be yourself. Your Authentic
Self explores the notion that when you are authentic with yourself, you
can begin to extend that to your relationships with others and your
work life, ultimately improving all aspects of your life.
Your Authentic Self provides readers with
practical advice on getting the most from their work experience, at the
same time giving their absolute best to their work and their employers.
By being ourselves in the context of our jobs, we gain access to hidden
gifts, including creativity, intuition, and innovation, each of which
benefits both the individual and the organization.
Your
Authentic Self begins with the author's personal story of discovering
the value in accessing his own unique brand of authenticity in the
workplace. Supported by the author's experience in some of America's
leading corporations, the book then explains how most of us come to
understand that authenticity in the workplace is not a good idea. The
author provides more than forty clearly explained and immediately
usable tools and techniques for gaining access to your authenticity and
how to hold onto it even in the context of the workplace. These
principles, tools, and techniques are practical and they work!
Most
importantly, anyone reading this book can immediately begin
incorporating these concepts in their lives, often experiencing instant
positive results and making the shift from seeing work as "off the path
of personal and spiritual growth" to seeing it as an integral part of
the journey.
