Episode notes

amy bernstein: Authenticity is not a gift that some one gives. It's the thing you develop in yourself, and it's an act of will. We're working on an episode about advice women get about work. What we'd really like is for you to email short voice memmas telling us about the advice that's changed your life or outlook. Let us know in your message if we can use your name or not.

As leaders, we know we’re supposed to be authentic, but for women, that can be tricky. For one thing, it can be hard to even know what our “true selves” want with all the demands competing for our attention. For another, there are different expectations about how women should look, and behave. In this episode, we talk with an expert on authenticity, as well as a woman trying everyday to bring her best self to work and help others do the same. Guests: Tina Opie and Candice Morgan. Our theme music is Matt Hill’s “City in Motion,” provided by Audio Network.
