Has your company ever used the “You belong” or “bring your most authentic self” to the workplace line?

Good intentioned, but completely misaligned with the company’s ACTUAL expectation for you.

Well friend, it’s time to stop waiting for permission to show up as the REAL you.

YOU define what “bring your most authentic self” means. Who is that for you? How does she act… what does she speak up about?

The thing about being and showing up as your authentic self is that you first have to KNOW and then come to LOVE who you really are — and that ain't always easy… it takes work.

Tune in to this week’s episode Authenticity 101, and let’s uncover the power that comes in being YOU. Link in Bio

 Perfection is the enemy of progress, growth and authentic leadership. How do we overcome this?

Overcoming perfectionism:

“I’m just a perfectionist…”

Have you ever caught yourself saying that line?

As someone who has fallen victim to the chokehold of perfectionism, let me set the record straight… Perfectionism is NOT a badge of honor NOR success. In fact it’s just the opposite.

It is the ENEMY of progress, growth and authentic leadership.

TUNE IN to the latest episode of the Rise with Diana Podcast to take a step towards uprooting the self-destructive roots of perfection.

When was the last time you were left on read?

Waiting for a follow up call, an email or text back only to be left with NO response. It’s not a great feeling. But even more than a bad feeling, it’s a bad character trait to have and an even worse hiring tactic.

In order to live our most authentic lives we have to follow through on our word. You either do what you say, or you don’t… and if you don’t, you are -- by default-- lying. Be it to yourself or others, a consistent failure to keep your word is a consistent habit of lying.
