In the world of networking, which is often full of fake smiles, polished elevator pitches and superficial conversations, authenticity feels like a breath of fresh air!

But what does it truly mean to be authentic, especially when it comes to networking for your business?

In this episode, I share the true definition of authenticity and show you where most people get it wrong.  SPOILER ALERT:  It's not about sharing your darkest secrets with strangers or being a jerk.

I also discuss the benefits of showing up authentically and explain how to embrace your quirks and use your "imperfections" to your advantage.   

I also share some helpful strategies for people who are shy, anxious, neurodivergent or just plain awkward that will allow you to cultivate genuine connections while staying true to who you are.
