Being vulnerable and authentic at work is sometimes hard to do.  It takes courage.

In this conversation with Ryan Seematter, we discuss why he feels that being vulnerable and authentic at work has been a part improving his confidence, passion and energy at work. Ryan’s tips for being authentic at work:

• Start small – with the people closest to you
• Ask for feedback
• Reach out to someone you haven’t spent time with but would like to know better
• Don’t be afraid of the differences – appreciate them for what they are
