211: Authenticity is Overrated

Choose your identity and grow into it

Do you believe the statements about yourself that you tell others? Do they fit you now, or are they labels from your past?

In today’s episode, Sarah dives into the topic of authenticity- or rather what that looks like for each individual and the power it gives for personal growth and transformation. Sarah also shares her own story of genuineness, the change of a label from her teenage stage to a self-employed communication coach with her own podcast. 

Tune in to begin your journey towards your authentic self, wherever that may lead you.


"Authenticity isn’t a static fixed thing. We grow, we transform, we collect people and information throughout our lives that influence our identity. Sometimes dramatically, sometimes in more subtle ways."

ABOUT SARAH:

"Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.

My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.

The audiobook, Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!

Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.
