You Have No Idea What Authenticity Means — Until You Learn This

56 min • 22 maj 2025

You think you’re being authentic. You’re not.

In this powerful conversation, media expert, keynote speaker, and author Jeanne Sparrow breaks down the real meaning of authenticity — and it’s not what you think. Most people confuse authenticity with oversharing. Others stay silent, mistaking fear for integrity. Jeanne explains why true authenticity isn’t about saying everything — it’s about knowing who you are, what you bring to the table, and how to use that power with intention.

You’ll learn:

Why oversharing kills trust (and isn’t real connection)
How to tell the difference between fear and truth
How to adapt without losing yourself
Why your presence speaks louder than your words — and how to own it

Whether you're leading a team, having a tough conversation, or just trying to show up more powerfully — this episode will change how you think about being “yourself.”
