How much of my "whole self" should I bring to work?

How much of your whole self should you bring to work? That's one of the questions Helen McCabe and Jamila Rizvi are diving into in our latest instalment of Leadership: Your Questions Answered where Helen and Jamila draw on their expertise and the latest research to help with members' career conundrums. This week's questions Nikki asks: How does one go from being a person in the engine room and not being seen, to a Leadership role? What is the stepping stone, pathway, window?  Sairah asks: How much of our whole self should we be bringing to the workplace? Should we be open and transparent or should we have a persona for the workplace? Anonymous asks: I have recently been offered a full-time position but interviewed for another role and realised I would prefer that position. If I am successful with the latter position, how do I let the other employer know I won’t be staying in the job? Is it better to try and delay my start date until I know the outcome of my preferred position?  Got a question?  Post it in our Future Women Facebook group and let us know it's for Leadership: Your Questions Answered, submit your query here or email us at [email protected]  Want to watch Leadership: Your Questions Answered live?  Head to our members-only Facebook group to chime in with your thoughts when Helen and Jamila go live.
