In today’s workplace, being yourself isn’t enough. You also have to know how and when to show up.
In this episode of Beyond Day One, David, Phillip, Ryan, and Gen Z John wrap up their multi-week conversation on professionalism, authenticity, and reading the room. These aren’t separate skills. They’re connected, and together they shape how others experience you at work.
You’ll learn:
-Why professionalism is about impact, not image
-How authenticity can cross into oversharing if you’re not careful
-What “situational awareness” really means in workplace conversations
-How the 10-Second Scan can help you read the room before you speak
-Practical ways to recover when you miss the moment
-Why seeking feedback is a career accelerator, not a weakness
If you’re a Gen Z professional, an emerging leader, or someone who manages Gen Z talent, this episode will help you show up with confidence, discretion, and self-awareness.
