Lately, we’ve been reflecting on the importance of being genuine. The world could use more authenticity, now more than ever. Even if it’s personal or business relationships, something often feels like it’s missing: a genuine, honest connection. In a community like ours, which thrives on relationships, it’s time we make a conscious effort to be more approachable and more genuine. Every interaction counts.
