What is authenticity anyway?

Today, authenticity is understood as the congruence of thinking, acting, feeling, and speaking. If these four areas have the same basis at their core, we speak of authenticity. You realize that if you report your empathy in the area of thinking for the job interview, for example, but appear less empathetic in speaking and acting, you will be perceived as less authentic. In this case, the "fake" competencies have even led to the loss of your authenticity. You are no longer perceived as "genuine".
