It’s well worth a read.  I think the quote that sums it up best from her post is this:

Competence has become a commodity.The only way to differentiate yourself in the business world today is to insist on being yourself. Ironically, it takes some of us years to come full circle back to the place we were, before we tried to be someone else.

Interesting eh?  I’ve noticed myself that as I come to grips more with who I am, with being transgendered, that I’m able to me more authentic.  And, wonder of wonders, people respond to that positively (or are confused enough to just respond nicely, I’ not sure now that I think of it!).   It’s an interesting side benefit that I’d not anticipated frankly.   So as I don’t lead anyone astray here, I’m not out at work at this time.  However, the current effect is an interesting personal experience.   It sounds like all of us, whatever your walk in life, would benefit well from just being yourself.  And if your a leader or serve in a leadership position (whether business, civic or religious) it sounds like the key for you to do even better is to be authentic.  Read Jordy’s post and enjoy!
