MASTER THE TALK, EMPOWER THE WALK-

Entering a new workplace has a certain pressure that pushes people to engage in self-presentation in the office. Self-presentation means managing behaviours, emotions and even the way other people perceives oneself. Understandably, new employees want their coworkers and bosses to like them; however, there are cases when they have to keep up appearances even if they have been with the company for a long time. Imagine how difficult it is when you cannot freely express emotions, share your sense of humour or generally just be yourself at work. This habit is unhealthy in the long run, and it can take a toll on your mental health.

A lot of people are not very keen on exposing their true selves at work since they feel like other people won’t accept them as they are. It is beneficial to the company if they can create an environment where their people can be authentic at work without feeling that it is a risk. The culture of authenticity in the workplace creates more long-lasting and better relationships with clients and coworkers. This is because a deeper understanding of one another leads to higher levels of trust. Since no one has to hide who they are or be too careful about how they carry themselves, the workplace becomes a positive place to be. Sydney’s Keynote Public Speaker Jahan Kalantar can explain the effects of authenticity in his talks.lf-help Speaker Jahan Kalantar can help you.

A culture of authenticity in the workplace cultivates a happy and positive working environment. This kind of culture encourages employees to be themselves and lets them know that they are accepted. Being able to express who they are and what they feel allows the employees to feel more free and creative, which promotes productivity. A culture of authenticity enables the staff to enjoy what they are doing and be satisfied with where they are. It makes sense that you are happier in a place where you can be your true self since this means that your work and your environment aligns with your interests, skills and values.

Working in a company that supports you helps boosts your confidence. The culture of authenticity tells employees that their ideas and opinions matter and this enables them to be more confident in sharing new concepts that will benefit the team. Since the team is working in a place full of positivity, confidence and encouragement; each member can display a genuine sense of reliability and integrity. These traits will make it easier for them to build a lasting relationship with colleagues and clients. Authenticity keynote speaker Jahan Kalantar can explain the societal impact of authenticity in more details in his talks.

You need drive, discipline, and courage to be a successful entrepreneur, but you also need to maintain a healthy business mindset. You need to understand the difference between pushing yourself to the limits and pushing yourself to the brink of exhaustion. If your business grows faster than you can handle, you will lose your balance and problems will arise. Developing a healthy business mindset allows you to be compassionate about other people and yourself, and it stops you from seeing every action as a challenge to overcome. Improving your mindset will also help you eliminate any form of negative mentalities that prevent you from reaching your full potential. Let Self-help and mental health Speaker Jahan Kalantar show you the way.

Authenticity involves sharing things that reflect who a person is, what they love or hate. It is about sharing the things that make them unique. Being able to express their true selves enables each member of the staff to create a positive and healthy environment in the workplace. The purpose of authenticity is to allow each working individual in the company to feel more comfortable and free within their workplace. This lets them be honest about themselves and build stronger bonds with their colleagues and clients. Pretending to someone you are not is not healthy in the long run, and being uncomfortable sharing your genuine self in the workplace will affect your productivity, happiness and mental health negatively.

Authenticity answers the question “what?” while transparency answers the question “how much?” Some people may be confused  between the two, but they are merely two sides of the same coin. Transparency is about how much authenticity you are sharing. For example, being authentic means sharing how you have always had a problematic relationship with your parents, but transparency is leaving out the details like your brother has always been your parent’s favourite. Hence, they tend to neglect your needs. Both authenticity and transparency cultivate the culture of trust because regardless of whether you share too little or too much, the fact that you are honest makes other people feel that you are trustworthy. Motivational keynote speaker Jahan Kalantar highlights the importance of authenticity in his talks.

Creating a long-lasting relationship client is more complicated than making friends. Companies and their employees tend to be extremely careful when handling their clients. Businesses always try to paint their products and services as the best in the market, but unfortunately, things don’t always go according to plan. For example, there are times when a product does not meet the company standards, but it somehow made it to the shelves. Or maybe a client’s demand is either impossible or impractical, and the company might suffer a greater loss if they push through. Nowadays, customers are not always right. There is a reason why they need your services or assistance. The inner conflict arises when you are torn between telling them the truth or pacifying them, but you know what? Honesty is the best policy. 

You can be brutally honest without being brutal. It is all about your approach. For example, if a client suggests that you do something impossible, you don’t tell them that their idea is ridiculous; instead, you should let them know what the options are and educate them why their concept would not work. Good clients will appreciate your honesty, therefore, creating a stronger bond with your company. Business keynote speaker Jahan Kalantar covers why honesty is the best policy in his talks.
