Episode 38: Authenticity, with Michelle Anne Johnson

Danielle and Kristy talk to Michelle Anne Johnson, a consultant and facilitator that helps leaders prepare for high-visibility presentations with her research based framework, the ACP Presence model. We talk about what authenticity means, barriers people face in being authentic, and how authenticity is an ongoing practice… particularly since we grow and evolve over time. Danielle shares a productivity life hack that has been working for her.

Notable Ideas:

“You can't short cut into presence.”

Definition of authenticity: The ability to know yourself and show yourself.

 Three levels of self awareness:

• Your internal state - what you think and feel

• Personality - preferences, values

• Your life story - your personal narrative and lived experiences

“Authenticity is a journey, not a destination. We are meant to grow and evolve.”
