Does being authentic really mean baring it all in the workplace? Does it mean you can unleash your temper on your colleagues or show up in pyjamas, because that’s how your “authentic self” was feeling that day? Has the word taken on a life of its own, far removed from the reality of the workplace?So, instead of simply downing the Corporate Kool-Aid, Sue Stephens, Head of Sales at Facebook, Pratap Kaul, Head of Programme Management at LinkedIn join Andrea (Head of Sales Enablement, Linkedin APAC) to lead the charge in bursting the shiny bubble of “authenticity” by taking a good hard look at how it’s been paraded as an excuse for unprofessionalism, and how to interpret the word wisely.This podcast is part of the wildly popular Corporate Kool-Aid Trail - the rest of which can be found on the Tigerhall App. Download now from App Store or Google Play to hear conversations with Thinkfluencers from Bloomberg, Meta and Linkedin discuss: ‘Growth Mindset: Tool or Weapon?’, ‘Is Feedback Really a Gift’ and ‘So, You Think You’re a Thought Leader?’.
