E067 The Art of Being Authentic with T Mark Meyer

In this episode we take a deep dive into authenticity with the wonderful T Mark Meyer. As leaders we are all encouraged to be authentic but what does that mean and is it even possible to be authentic in the business world? These are just some of the fascinating topics we discuss as we explore authenticity and its link to our values, purpose, and self-esteem.   KEY TAKEAWAY “One of the things about authenticity that is often misunderstood is a lot of people think that being an authentic leader or being authentic is about me being me. But it's not an ego thing, it’s only half of the equation that I have to be me. The other half is that I have to allow other people to also be their authentic selves. I have to create a space for authenticity that people can step into.”   ABOUT T MARK T.
