Every Wednesday, this newsletter goes to over 20,000+ readers where I share 1 idea from me, 1 quote from others, and highlight 1 person or a question from the community on ways to get 1% better. Every month, I will also send out a brand new framework that I am seeing working especially in marketing or leadership. No spam ever.
Happy 1-1-1 Wednesday!
1 IDEA FROM ME:
Authenticity is about being genuine and 100% real. When you are truly being authentic, everyone can tell and the gift of that is that they will respond better towards you. The world opens to those who are truly being 100% themselves. That is the real power of authenticity.
Question: How can you be truly authentic this coming week?

1 QUOTE: BRAD SMITH (FORMER CEO OF INTUIT)
We're in an environment right now where there's a lot of selfies and a lot of focus on "my stats" and "my numbers" and the school system talks about "my grades" and "my GPA"... then you figure out when you get into the world that you've got to be able to be part of a collective we."
Question: What values do you help to instill in others?

DO THIS ONE THING:
In order to get 1% better, we need to do check-ins to make sure that we are being 100% authentic. I challenge you to ask someone close to you if they feel like you are being authentic this week. Take their feedback and apply it going forward.
Question: What is one thing you can do to be 100% authentic with everyone this week?
Boom! Let’s go!

4 年Love the quote from Brad Smith. When we are young , we believe the world revolves around us (ask my 5 yr old) ?? But when we go out into the world & realise that we don’t stand a chance on our own without playing the team game. I value integrity first and it is of utmost importance to us that our clients feel that we delivered on it too.

4 年Great share. Recently being trying to be authentic. I guess the biggest issue is how we think people will validate us, hence we try to follow the crowd and follow acceptable norms. Today I wore a different slip on shoe apart from my running shoes, got reluctant a bit, got thinking people might say, that's looks odd. But I reminded myself to be authentic and put people's validation aside and just be me.
