A – Authenticity:
Be original. Stay true to yourself. A quote I love so much says, ‘Be yourself; every other person is taken’.
There is a peculiar thing about you that the world needs. I call it your super-power. Flaunt it; let people know you for that. No matter how inconsequential it may seem, the right people will value it.
Below are ways you can find and express your authentic self at work:
– Understand the Vision and Mission of the organization.
– Understand how you can add value to the organization.
– Understand and set boundaries:
This is critical as a lot of people abuse boundaries. This is a whole topic that we will dive into at some point.
– You must be knowledgeable about your job/work: keep learning and improving yourself on the job.
– Look for opportunities to grow: Take personal development seriously
One of the reasons why it’s critical to be your authentic self at work is because it is beneficial to your mental health and provides professional growth opportunities for you.
