Erin Hatzikostas

You've probably heard "Bring your authentic self to work" a hundred times in the last year [insert eye roll]. But here's the reality: being "yourself" at work probably feels like fluffy unicorn doo-doo that isn't really actionable or possible.

During this talk, Erin will help you see that authenticity is a much more nuanced and complex concept. And, when embraced in this way, it turns authenticity from a passive, la-ti-da concept to an active, dy-no-mite strategy that should be at the heart of your leadership and culture strategy.

Erin will do more than talk theory. Grounded in her proprietary framework, “The Six Principles of Strategic Authenticity” (H.U.M.A.N.S.), she will help you see that authenticity can be purposefully practiced. She’ll also provide some initial “plays” for your own Authenticity Playbook. In this new, post-pandemic world, this is THE strategy you need to modernize your culture, maximize your career, and make more moola!

There's no doubt we still have a ginormous gender gap at the top of the leadership ladder. However, we often ignore the biggest issue: women aren't being held down, they're opting down. Women often fear they'll have to compromise to rise - compromise their family, their health, or even their soul. As a result, we don't lean into the big girl job.

In this talk, Erin won't encourage you to lean in, but rather to lean in a totally different way. She'll bust down the "Sucky Songs" women often sing to themselves and inspire you to rewrite them by using authenticity as your new secret weapon for success.

Using her framework, "The Six Principles of Strategic Authenticity (H.U.M.A.N.S.)", Erin will show you how authenticity isn't some fluffy unicorn doo-doo, but rather an actionable strategy you can enact immediately. Her talk will inspire you to change the job - and the entire game - so you can opt up, without selling out!
