By whole-heartedly being yourself, you will not only be happier and more effective, but also have a greater influence wherever you go and with whatever you do. Being authentic helps us to get along with ourselves better. It hlps us to be at ease in life and at work. It will also help us to be more confident and energised and give others reason to respect and trust us. It will help us to add value sustainably.

I want to be the best me I can be.

Your uniqueness – your being – is what makes the difference between you and the next candidate for employment. Your uniqueness should be portrayed in your CV, because if there are ten CV’s on the table, all with the same qualifications and experience, it is that uniqueness that will make the difference. Don’t fit in, stand out. Companies are in dire need of unique individuals, filled with creativity.
