Why is authenticity even more important in todays world?

As human beings, trust is the glue that holds any meaningful relationship together, whether that’s with a family member, a friend, or a customer. In the business world, trust is what keeps your employees engaged, it’s how you keep investors interested, and ultimately it’s how you build longstanding relationships with customers and clients.

What about authenticity?

Authenticity is the key for building this trust. By keeping it real, the relationship between your employers, clients or even your brand and followers becomes stronger, increasing engagement, respect, and even, loyalty.

In an ever growing digital world where so many of us can hide behind a screen all day, it’s even more important to show your personality. Many people are afraid to be judged for who they really are though and authenticity requires vulnerability which opens people up to the fear of rejection.

If you are new at a company, school or a new area, we all want to be accepted and but sometimes change our behaviour to try and fit in. (we’ve all done it!) There is a huge downside to this – we aren’t being truthful to ourself and it restricts your true happiness. Changing your behaviour for the sake of conformity has another huge downside, it restricts individuals from true happiness.

So how do you keep it real? Our Mums on Cloud Nine guest shares her tips about this so make sure you tune in to get her top tips.



This week’s podcast guest, Debbie Forster, CEO of Tech Talent Charter discusses how authenticity can help you stand out in the crowd and why it’s really important to know yourself and to be yourself in your career rather than trying to be someone else.

Listen to the new podcast.

91% of consumers say they are willing to reward a brand for its authenticity with a purchase, investment, or endorsement, while 62% would purchase from a brand they regard as authentic
