Deep dives

The Power of Authenticity in Communication

Authenticity plays a crucial role in effectively communicating with others. Projecting confidence does not stem from being overly assertive or dominating a conversation; rather, it arises from a feeling of warmth and genuine engagement with the other person. Successful communicators should focus on making eye contact, using an appropriate tone, and being present in the moment. The impression of confidence diminishes when individuals attempt to be someone they are not, as others can easily sense inauthenticity.
