The corporate character I played, before I found myself again.

Kind of on Purpose Series: Join Jessica and Nat as they unpack the corporate "character" they both played early in their careers, the mask they thought they had to wear to fit in, be taken seriously, and succeed at work.   In this episode, they explore how many of us copy the behaviours and language of people we see as "successful", even when it doesn't feel natural. From firm handshakes and football chats to forced assertiveness, they reflect on how mimicking others slowly drains your energy. Through honest stories, they unpack what shifted when they started showing up more authentically.   You'll hear about:   1️⃣ Why playing a "corporate character" is exhausting and unsustainable 2️⃣ What changes when you give yourself permission to be your authentic self 3️⃣ How to notice when the mask slips back on, and how to respond with awareness   If you think you deserve an Oscar for Best Actor in the "How Successful People Behave" category, this episode is for you. Jessica and Nat remind us that authenticity isn't about being fearless or perfect, it's about awareness, choice, and giving yourself permission to come back to who you actually are, again and again.   🌐 Connect with us: LinkedIn   Have topics you want us to cover?
