Quick! Can you find your homeowner’s insurance policy? How about that warranty you bought for your television last year? Would you know where to begin looking to find your child’s birth certificate? Even more important, if your home were suddenly destroyed due to some natural disaster, would you be able to present your insurance agent with a list of your entire home inventory?If you spend precious tim

Are you the type to sing in your car? Play air guitar or air drums? I am, mostly to lost classic hair bands on my satellite radio. Having fun in what you do is critically important to the overall success of your business.

Ever heard these phrases? They all refer to authenticity.
- Walk the talk.
- Let your yes be yes and your no be no.
- Be real.
- Act on the courage of your convictions.
What is authenticity? When we think, say, feel and act in complete alignment. In other words, there is no difference between our beliefs and what we say. Our habits of thought match our habits of action. There is no difference between how we feel and what we do, between what we want and who we are. It means we're whole, undivided, complete.
"...the first step toward becoming authentic is to be courageous. If we don't have courage, we cannot be real. And being real, in turn, requires us to be brave enough to reveal, own, and often share our truth, our fears, our emotions, and our vulnerabilities. This is how we become authentic." (Lance Secretan, "One: The Art and Practice of Conscious Leadership," 2006, p. 81)

This is the approach that I have used successfully and I still believe it is an excellent strategy for kicking off your international teaching career. However, I thought I’d better write an article on strategies for edu

Machine shops are places where engineers or mechanics design and fabricate finished parts from metals, and repair machines of various types. The machines may be domestic appliances, bicycles, complicated four-wheelers or even airplanes. The job may involve repairing a malfunctioning part or replacing a non-functional part with a new one. Repairing a malfunctioning part may require many technical or mechanical

The most important function of a business plan is to create interest among investors so that they write a check. In achieving this goal, business plan writers are often challenged by determining the proper level of optimism in their plan.

We often use the word "integrity" to describe the result of authenticity. The most common meaning of integrity is "steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code." But integrity also means "the state of being unimpaired; soundness," and "the quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness". (The American Heritage Dictionary) Authenticity leads us to our own ethical code; authenticity leads to integrity.
When you judge an object to be authentic, you determine it to be exactly what it claims to be. The same is true for people. For example, everyone has a relative who is "a little eccentric" yet very lovable. How is that? Chances are that wacky relative is so genuine you cannot help but appreciate him or her. What you see is what you get, and you love what you get from them (even if it's a little weird!).
We need to be authentic because we love how authentic people touch our hearts and inspire us. "Authentic leader
