• Think back to your role models

• Are the behaviours they demonstrate, real or fake?

• Are ‘fakers’ easy to spot?

• What are the benefits of ‘being real/ being authentic’?

• What are the benefits and pitfalls of saying ‘’yes’ and/or ‘no’ too often?

Key Points – The Authentic One

• Be a little self-reflective

• What one thing can you do to be more of the real you?

• Breathe…

• Bringing a part of you to work that you haven’t previously, WILL encourage people to want to be around you

• Ask for feedback – in fact, welcome it

• Listen 100% to what the other person is saying

• Learn how to say no, yet still sound positive

• Refer back to your role models/icons

• What is it about them that makes them stand out for you?

• Write down their qualities as specifically as you can (what is it they SAY and/or DO?/How do they behave?)

• In order to improve our communication skills, we must first become aware of how we do communicate

• Watch your language, if you don’t, others will

• Ask yourself what you can do to be a better role model?

• When you’re hanging around the water-cooler or having a chat with a co-worker, make sure you leave them with something positive to think about

• Naturally, you’d like people to speak well of you, we all would. By adopting the attitude and behaviours of a good role model, people will always speak well of you

• When we say one thing and do another, we lose credibility

• Change is challenging for all of us

• Do something different, something really small

• The best way to learn and grow is to encourage change within ourselves

• As much as we might like to, we can’t change others

• Repetitive, habitual behaviors that don’t achieve the outcome we require or want, need a different attitude & strategy. Think differently!

• When we make a conscious effort to change, our world looks bigger and better

• Honesty is the best policy

• One of the most challenging relationships in our lives is the relationship we have with ourselves

• When we do the right thing instead of the wrong thing, we are replicating the behaviour of those people we so admire

• It’s much easier on our brain to do the right thing

• Sometimes doing the right thing entails making a sacrifice

• Ask yourself what part of ‘doing the right thing’ doesn’t work for you

• Very successful people and highly profitable businesses thrive because they collaborate

• What we desire out of business-life and life-life is available to us. We just have to be aware of what it is we really, really want
