Staying True to You: Unlock the Power of Your Middle Self and Live with Confidence, Integrity, and Peace of Mind
Patricia Faison Hewlin
Called “one of the world’s foremost experts on authenticity” by #1 New York Times bestselling author, Adam Grant, Dr. Hewlin is recognized internationally for developing the concept of “facades of conformity.” Her research shows 30% of employees feel pressured to create facades (not only at work!)— something Dr. Hewlin can also personally speak to as a black woman who started in the traditionally white male dominated field of banking. Drawing from more than 25 years of research and consulting experience, she introduces the concept of your “middle self:” a way to navigate the world with confidence and integrity, while balancing personal authenticity with the realities of community, workplace culture, and social expectations. Dr. Hewlin's findings arrive at a presently crucial and confusing time for many at work, in personal relationships and friendships, parents of teens, and beyond.
