A helpful act or an embarrassing failure?

I ran across the road and asked: “Do you need some help?”
Three confused faces turned to look at me and then the penny dropped. On closer inspection of the scene, I could see that I had misinterpreted the situation and suddenly found myself in the middle of an embarrassing fail.
Bring your authentic self they say. What does that even mean?

We hear all the time that we should bring our authentic self to everything that we do.
What does that even mean? Who is this authentic person? How do we get them to come out and play?
Is it time for a rebrand?

Sometimes things just stop feeling right. You may stop to question yourself. Why am I still doing the same things?
