Unlocking Authenticity

Why we hide who we are at work - and how to redefine culture from the inside out

About this book

In Unlocking Authenticity, author, leadership coach and workplace culture expert Shivani Uberoi delivers a powerful and refreshingly honest exploration of what it really means to be yourself at work… and why so many of us struggle to do it.

From subtle workplace norms to deeply ingrained beliefs about who we need to be to succeed, Unlocking Authenticity unpacks the hidden cost of constantly 'fitting in' and what it takes to break free.

Through real-life stories, including experiences of navigating race and identity, challenging stigma around masculinity and fatherhood, redefining possibility after disability, and the hidden pressures of privilege, motherhood and neurodiversity, the book brings to life the complex realities behind how we show up at work and in life.

Full of insight, inspiration and practical wisdom, Unlocking Authenticity invites you to reflect on your own journey and gives you the tools to show up more fully as yourself, while creating a culture where others can do the same.

Inside the book:

  • Relatable, real-life stories that reveal how and why we cover different parts of ourselves at work.

  • Practical tools and reflective exercises to help you build self-awareness, challenge bias and strengthen psychological safety.

  • Insightful frameworks to create cultures where people don't have to fit in but can thrive as their best selves.

An essential read for leaders, managers and individuals who want to create environments where people can do their best work without pretending to be someone they're not.
