Tomorrow this article is being published. Being authentic, true to ourselves, is often one of our biggest values, and most cherished points of arrival. But, I’ve noticed that sometimes an over-attachment to authenticity can hinder our business development, and keep us stagnant.

How wonderfully appropriate for me to hear this podcast! (As always…) As a professional singer, I recently had an experience with the subject of inauthenticity in learning- and integrating- a new technique. A friend of mine espressed her concerns about changing anything about her technique- specifically regarding the very teacher I decided to study with temporarily. Yes, things were awkward for a time, but I decided to embrace the technique fully, in order to find out what it could do for me. My own technique has been settling back in beautifully, but with the added richness of the new one- and it’s even helped in parts of my voice that I didn’t think it would touch! I agree- sometimes it is revitalizing to try a new approach- even if it just clarifies what you already do.
Your site continues to look great and Happy New Year!
