Coaching with Simona: Embracing Authenticity in the Corporate World: Why Being Yourself Matters
In this article, Simona Pappalardo explores the tension between authenticity and conformity in the corporate world, sharing her personal journey of navigating professional expectations while staying true to herself.
She recounts grappling with the advice that “women who don’t wear makeup don’t get promoted,” which led her to adopt a minor compromise of wearing light makeup.

However, when faced with the pressure to embody a “polished” leadership style, she chose to embrace her natural qualities—energy, intuition, and joy—over conforming to a rigid, traditional image of leadership. Simona emphasizes that success and authenticity are not mutually exclusive but require thoughtful navigation.
She advises professionals to take two key steps: first, develop awareness of corporate culture and expectations to understand potential barriers; and second, make intentional choices that align with their authentic selves.
By embracing qualities that reflect their true values, leaders can stand out and create a lasting impact.
Simona concludes by encouraging readers to reflect on their leadership identity and offers a webinar to help professionals align their resumes with their authentic selves, demonstrating that success is achievable without compromising individuality.
