Today’s consumers now have unlimited resources and techniques to spot and expose the fake, unreal and scripted.  In 2010 the trend towards authenticity  will hit unauthentic companies where it hurts – the bottom line, and the companies striving for integrity in all areas will be valued and prized.  - T i m   P e t h i c k

C l i e n t s

*   As a client, have you ever been treated not authentic by an employee at a company?
*   How did this experience make you feel?

C o w o r k e r s

*   What experiences have you had with coworkers who were not authentic?
*   How did that make you feel?
*   How did that affect your work?

Why is being authentic important to you (at work)?

*  168 hours in a week

*  sleep 7 – 8 hours a night

*  100 hours of awake time and 45 hours of that is at work.

We spend almost all of our FUNCTIONAL TIME AT WORK around co-workers, clients, supervisors, etc…!

So, for those 45 hours a week are you being authentically you?

If not, who are you being?

And, at what cost?

*   Is it your responsibility to be authentic in all situations?
*   Where are you not being authentic?
*   whats the worst that can happen?
*   Whats the best that can happen?

Become your AUTHENTIC YOU TODAY at home, WORK and play!
