Episode notes

Are we allowed or expected to show more of our real selves at work? And how can we navigate these shifting expectations in a way that benefits us, or at least doesn't harm our careers? We invited tina ope to discuss all this with us. She is an expert in strategic management and organizational behavior. Tina has been a regular guest on the show since season one. When she talked about the fundamentals and nuances of leading with authenticity.

Which feelings (and shoes) are work-appropriate these days? What happens now with the transparency and informality that, for many professionals working from home, became more normal and acceptable? How do return-to-office mandates compromise the authenticity of employees who prefer to stay remote?

Tina Opie, an expert on authenticity, joins us to share impressions of how notions of professional behavior and dress have changed. She also gives advice for expressing yourself as expectations of professionalism shift.
