Authenticity.
Being real is how we actually connect with people.
We spend a lot of time wearing a mask. When we’re real, people trust us more and we connect better.
Being authentic takes practice. The more you stretch, the more connection you find.
Share something with a close friend or family member that they don’t know about you.
Try: “Hey, did you know I ___?”
1. Why do you think it’s sometimes hard to be authentic?
2. How can we help friends and family feel comfortable being themselves?
Ask everyone in your family to share one thing others might not know about them.
Here’s what we’ll talk about. Have a think before you come.
1. What is your craziest injury story?
2. Share about a time when someone listened to you or showed you empathy. How did you feel?
3. Share about a time when you felt hurt, betrayed or treated unfairly by someone. How could you use empathy to help you understand why they might have acted that way?
