Does learning speaking techniques make you less authentic?

This is something I hear quite often from clients once we start with the first few changes to how they talk.

If this is something you’re worried about, here’s something for you: Authenticity isn’t what a lot of people think that it is.

A lot of people think that authenticity is showing up and behaving in a way that they have always done since childhood. But what if the way that you are now isn’t necessarily authentic? What if it’s just what you’ve fallen into, stuck with it and never changed?

So what if adding new ways of behaving in your life isn’t NOT authentic, it’s just not what you were in childhood?

So this is what I challenge you: If you try these new speaking techniques and as long as you use these techniques in alignment to your values, then it’s still authentic.

Well, it’s meant to.

It’s meant to feel unfamiliar because you are evolving into a newer version of yourself that you’ve always admired to become, but you just haven’t done it yet.

If you don’t want it to feel weird, then keep speaking the way you have always. By all means!
