Being a professional is the opposite of being authentic. I don’t want an authentic doctor, who in the middle of my surgery tells me that she don’t feel like doing the surgery anymore! I want a professional.
A professional is someone who shows up and do their best work even when they don’t feel like it, they do the hard work at getting better at their craft, they are open to feedback so their craft get better, they don’t bring authenticity, they bring commitment and consistency.
