Titre de l’activité/Title of the activity: Growing Beyond Authenticity


Animateur/Speaker: Faciliated by Julie Gouin, PCC


Description:

Authenticity is a central axis of personal and professional growth and is seen as the “gold standard” for leadership. Yet, Herminia Ibarra’s research shows that a simplistic understanding of what it means to be authentic, and a rigid adherence to an “authentic self”, can paradoxically limit growth and impact.

Join fellow coaches for a book-club-style discussion exploring Ibarra's article "The Authenticity Paradox." https://herminiaibarra.com/the-authenticity-paradox/

We’ll discuss the tension between staying true to oneself and adapting to new demands—a challenge our clients face regularly as they advance in their careers. And, we’ll explore practical strategies to help clients who cling too tightly to their established styles and values revise personal narratives so that they can thrive in expanded roles, multicultural environments, and shifting expectations at senior roles.

When does authenticity become an anchor rather than a compass? Let’s share perspectives on guiding our clients through the identity evolution their roles demand.
