Gina, that was great! I appreciate that you include personal stories. You gave me a lot to think about and I appreciated your reminder that self-awareness and self-understanding are meant to live in harmony with self-improvement and development.
Great teach, I always thought that If I could design myself than i would be far better what I am. But I can change myself a little can impact me to change my mechanism slowly. Now I can have paddle in the boat. Thanks.
"When you genuinely care enough about the other person to think about how to purposefully connect with them, that doesn't make you fake." It was a nice speech. But if this is what was most important, then it should be step one. Because without actually caring, it's not authenticity. Its just acting.
This only works for neurotypicals 🤷🏻♀️. Autistics like me are usually very professional, but when we start to show our authenticity, people turn on us because it’s not the same as THEIR authenticity. We need to practice learning what kinds of behaviors are actually “professional” and which ones are merely preferences. We also need to recognize that not every job requires people to butter up other people, so “people skills” don’t need to be at an all time high when you aren’t largely working with customers.
RUclips : i know you like ted talks، here is another one . Me : that was yesterday , today im not in the mood and i rathe... Brain : watch it and after that watch ten ted talks in a row (new record) . If you do i gurantee you will become a happy , smart , well spoken and kind millionaire . Stick to the plan . Me : *watches the video and write long comments about what my brain as a meme*
If you know any autistic people you probably see great authenticity in their behaviour, that they will not sacrifice their personal values for the sake of social acceptance. Autistic people suffer when they pretend to be someone they're not, care about the things they don't actually care about, they are brutally honest with their opinions (negative or positive), autistic people see through the surface of social norms to see the real person, and more. I can testify of this as I'm autistic myself, it is not easy to drive an autistic person off of their own track. I have sacrificed things of great value to me because I were not willing to sacrifice my value of respect to fit in to a group disobedient to rules and regulations. Autistic people are naturally authentic and less vulnerable to peer pressure, I see those as gifts, not deficits.
Great insightful presentation Gina. Its such a skill in itself to present without notes in front of a foreign audience. Loved the self depreciating anecdotes! But still made it to Wurshington DC!!! :)
As a person that grew up in the Southern United States it is so strange to me how certain accents need to be removed. I can somewhat understand for t v reporting and things like that, but I'm talking about for our corporate jobs. I work for a global company and have felt pressure to wipe away my accent. In my opinion, Southern accents cause us to be viewed as less competent. I can understand removing slang/jargon. My true authentic self is someone that has a Southern twang to my words and at times it feels wrong to need to erase that.
TEDx really needs to proof these talks, to edit out all the irrelevant personal stuff, be more informative, and get to the point. She’s nice, but moving on.
Unpopular opinion I’m sure, but if I’m being authentic I have to agree with you! The mnemonic abbreviations are so over done these days. A.B.C. = Always Be Closing! or Appearance Behavior Content?!🤣😂
Bravo Gina! A powerful talk that will leave you feeling more confident about who you are, who you're not, and how to become the person you want to be!
What I took away from this is being true to yourself and being authentic are an incredibly powerful combination. Thank you so much Gina for sharing
This is such a strong message at a time of so much blatent in-authenticity.. Do you & connect your actions and values. We'll all do better 💥

Congratulations Gina! An insightful talk, with powerful, yet simple and actionable tips on how to put forward your best self every day.
Gina, a wonderful presentation! And a reminder of just how impactful your life has been on so many.
Gina - you are a legend, and an awesome, awesome lady.
That's from the US Army veteran lnfantry sniper corps.
Easy steps to remember…trying everyday equals growth!
Such great content and Gina’s stories are memorable. Having spent time with Gina, she is a walking talking breathing example of authenticity.
Gina, that was great! I appreciate that you include personal stories. You gave me a lot to think about and I appreciated your reminder that self-awareness and self-understanding are meant to live in harmony with self-improvement and development.
So many great suggestions, tricks and tools to help us grow. Learn your ABCD's and make those purposeful choices. Thank you Gina.

As Bruno Mars said: You are amazing, just the way you are!
Have a great day! 😃
The title of the talk was misleading. The talk is about how to adapt yourself so you're better received and perceived.
Very informative, excellent presenter 👍🏻
Brillant Talk Gina.
Authenticity is something that always has to be practiced!! Great talk Gina!! You are a TEDx Speaker now ;)
Thanks Gina, insightful as always
Very motivational
What some people call a lack of authenticity can often be a lack of awareness which is totally different
👌👌👌❤
Worth Watching!😇
"If you seek authenticity for authenticity's sake you are no longer authentic."
Jean-Paul Sartre
It's really useful
Woah she so stunning

she should say both are important "why and how", just the nice gesture with bad intentions are not good things.
I authentically don't support factory farming. I get my protein from oats and chick peas. Have a nice day. (PS I gave up listening after a minute. )
