Not if you want to climb that ladder
Oh, I’ve got some stories chief.
Yes, but so is knowing when to keep your mouth shut. This is a lesson I am still learning.
I'm really outspoken and opinionated. I'm still learning too. We like to change the status quo while adhering to it.
Are you a white male?
Yes.

In advertising? If your goal is to get fired, sure.
I’m not talking about authentic as in fully dosed on truth serum. I’m just saying being normal. Not selling stuff that doesn’t fit
a media budget etc. That’s just sensible.
Staying true to yourself is one of the most important things you can do. Let other people become corporate yes men. I’ve been lucky to have a bunch of executive training at my current gig, and every single coach I’ve had says this. Be authentic, be honest and don’t put people on pedestals.
If you by authentic you mean speaking your mind without a filter, remember, drunks do the same. Just because it’s authentic doesn’t mean it’s true or smart.
No. Not always.
Define authentic
No. People don't like the truth. Tell them what they want to hear. That's the definition of advertising.
