This year the women's movement slogan is "Be your authentic self."
As I mentioned before in these pages, women should not be like men. They should not hide their femininity, sexuality, community, sensitivity and all that gives women more often than men. They must be real.
Here the wise counsel of Marcia Reynolds on the path of authenticity.
1. Outside View
When making career transitions, and reinvent themselves, seem to determine the best course of action. Imitate the people you admire. It will be uncomfortable, but it will give you a chance to practice skills such as negotiation and persuasion. As you become more familiar with the skills to integrate them into your own style.
This is a logical next step in the growth until you can move quickly to try to be someone else to do things, as someone to admire. As soon as you can use your voice and talent you connect more effective and get results.
2. Look Inside
When a situation is uncomfortable, you can lock yourself in a real "I", which work hard to prove his point. However, you can actually use different modes of behavior that are a part of you.
When what you're doing does not get results, sitting in silence and listen to the brain before the meeting. In this mode, you can use a set of behaviors and energy, which have evolved over time.
At the beginning of your career you might call the Warrior energy to help fight the way up the corporate ladder. Later, you might get better results by using the connector, and inspired energy.
This identification process, focusing on certain behaviors and reducing others is how you grow.
3rd Do not look, let him go
No matter what your audience thinks of you. For every moment that you care about your reaction, give less than 100 percent. They are about 100 percent, no matter if you like. Being authentic is qualified, competent and disciplined enough to let go.
Summary
To be authentic is to be yourself. If you feel that others see you as fake, you fake, perception is reality in the eye of the collector is.
If you have the skills to integrate into the company directory, practice enough to feel comfortable with them before they can use their skills.
You need to feel comfortable with them so that you know that you are your own person, that you are genuine.
