Hypocrite – the original greek word meant actor or stage player. It was common for ancient greek actors to wear masks in play, to literally put on a difference face and pretend to be someone they’re not.
Same is true of hypocrites now. They don a mask, a false appearance, and pretend to be something they’re not. Weak identity. Often stemming from too much time focused on reputation, not enough clarifying identity and building character.
Wearing a mask is draining. It’s a form of cognitive dissonance, which is exhausting for us humans. What masks do you put up to please others? What masks do you put up to become who you’re supposed to be for the promotion? To fit in with a certain group? When you remove the mask, who’s underneath? Start there. Get clarity on that man or woman you want to be that hides behind a mask. Then start to act in alignment with who you want to be and become – the doing is how we build character.
BUILT TO LEAD 
Love this, Rachel.
Just connected the dots an insidious, paradoxical bookend for this is “imposter syndrome”, which apparently 86% of normal humans experience as an anxious pit in their stomach when entering a new playground, board room, conference, etc. The crippling self-limiting belief is that everyone else has credentials/swag/resume you don’t — and that you don’t BELONG (Jim Gant, can you relate to this?).
The answer is not to conform –but rather to together awaken, challenge and transform.
This is the beauty of 1:1 AND team practice.
Together we transform, always (in ALL-ways) together.
