Authenticity
Aligning my words and actions with my core values and beliefs
Authenticity helps build a workplace where trust and clarity thrive.
When people align their words and actions with their values, communication becomes more honest and relationships grow stronger. Authenticity encourages teams to show up as their true selves, reducing misunderstandings and creating an environment where integrity guides decisions.
Essay
Balancing Authenticity
by Jill Tomey
How much of yourself do you bring to work? I always struggled with how much faith to bring to work. My spirituality governs my daily life, so it was impossible not to bring it. Still, I decided I needed to be sensitive to working with people with different or no spirituality. I chose a single religious item to display in my office. When I spoke about church-related activities, I was careful to avoid preaching and politics. I offered to pray for people if they shared a concern with me. Sometimes I felt like I was holding back, leaving me feeling insincere. When I realized that I needed to balance Authenticity with Acceptance, Cooperation, and Humility, I felt much more comfortable with my decision. I hope that how I conducted my professional life aligned with the faith-filled personality I chose to share.
