Fearless Authenticity Situation Management Systems

Authenticity in Politics

The idea of “authenticity” always comes up during election cycles and when critical issues that can impact a mass of people are being debated. Voters want to get to know politicians on a more personal level, and being seen as authentic has become even more important. Given these tumultuous times, how hard is it for politicians to say what they’re really thinking and feeling, rather than what they’re supposed to think and feel? Join us Wednesday September 9 @ 12PM EST and hear about authenticity from a politician’s point of view.
