Our identities help us distinguish ourselves from others both personally and professionally. But over-attachment to an image can constrain our ability to expand or pivot when we need to. Instead of being authentic, we might cleave to old ways of doing things in order to be consistent with past behavior, even when it no longer suits us. We may think our consistency and dependability make others feel more comfortable, but authenticity is what actually puts others at ease and, at the same time, puts us on the direct path to…
Well-being.
