What is authenticity and why do we lose touch with ourselves?  In this episode,I am speaking with Geri Carey, a therapist, coach, and researcher into the importance of authenticity and living authentically.  We explore the concept of your identity and how your beliefs about yourself impact every areas of your life including your business. In business having the confidence to show up and be yourself determines the audience you attract, whether your people will connect with you, and ultimately whether they will buy from you. Geri also explores the reasons why people may lose touch with their authenticity and offers insights on how to shift beliefs and overcome visibility fears. Connecting with the core of who you are, becoming curious about your own thoughts and beliefs, and challenging where they have come from can help you reconnect with yourself. Geri is a professional Therapist and Coach, she helps people to become independent thinkers and live a self-directed and happy life by showing you how to get curious, tune in and take action.Sections:00:00 Introduction and Background05:18 What Does Being Your Authentic Self Entail?09:56 Losing Touch with Authenticity15:16 Shifting Beliefs to Achieve Goals25:31 Overcoming Visibility Fears32:48 Living Authentically in Every Area of Life37:09 Geri's Book ReleaseYou can connect with me on Facebook & Instagram at @KristinMorrisCoaching Grab a copy of my new book The Business of Coaching www.kristinmorris.coNew episodes are released weekly on Monday mornings so be sure to subscribe to receive notifications of new episodes.
