Summary

In Episode 39, Ismail and Sameer had the pleasure of hosting our first repeat guest on The Emotional Intelli-Gents Podcast, David Shechtman, a Partner at Evolution.  David enlightened the audience with stories from his personal past where his personal belief in being authentic always, ended up hurting others with unintended consequences he never saw coming.  

From these experiences, David began to explore the concept of ‘authenticide’, a term David defines as: An ill-timed or ill-conceived act of disclosure that ends a meaningful relationship.  Episode 39 will dive deep into ‘authenticide’ seeking to understand what causes it and how to avoid it.  

Main Topics:

  • Introduction and background of David Schectman 
  • Authenticity and being an authentic leader
  • Authenticide — the downsides of authenticity 
  • Refining your authenticity and developing self-awareness.
