The book explores the pressures of conforming to societal standards in the workplace, highlighting the struggle to fit in and the resulting feelings of inadequacy. It addresses the emotional toll of constant comparison and the pursuit of self-improvement, emphasizing the challenges of maintaining authenticity amidst external expectations. Through this lens, it encourages readers to reflect on their own experiences and find empowerment in embracing their true selves.
What if true leadership is about being more yourself? Working life can feel like one long masterclass on how to fit in by fixing, hiding or suppressing parts of us that feel somehow inadequate, inconvenient or inappropriate. Over time, small acts of self-abandonment begin to take a heavy toll. It's no wonder that so many leaders feel alone, overwhelmed and exhausted. This is a book for busy, big-hearted leaders who want to feel more like themselves at work. Being True offers a practical evidence-based approach to turning down the volume on the voices in your head, and experiencing greater inner freedom. By honouring our deepest selves, we liberate our highest potential and serve the greatest good. We uplift performance, health and sustainability and co-create workplaces where people feel like they belong. It becomes possible to love who we're being, not just what we do. Discover the power of being true in an overwhelming world.
