> How being your authentic self can make

you more influential

> Using authenticity in public communications

> The difference between being authentic

and seeming authentic

> How to send the costly signals of

authenticity and become a more effective leader

Polonius's last piece of advice to his son Laertes, "This above all: to thine own self be true", rings a very contemporary bell. But for all its popularity, it is often quoted and seldom followed. The corporate world in particular craves authenticity, while it does very little to encourage it. Why, in a world where "everyone else is already taken", as Oscar Wilde put it, do we find it so difficult to be ourselves? And how should we go about it, once we overcome this initial difficulty? This talk will attempt to address both these questions.

Dragoș Bucurenci is a communication strategist and coach, a civic activist and a television personality. He has an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and was the European Commissioner for Regional Policy's Communication Adviser. He has trained more than 1,000 managers in public speaking, storytelling and interpersonal communication, and received the "Best Training of the Year" award at the Business Edu Gala in 2010.

He is certified as NLP Coach by the Academy of Coaching and NLP and as authorized trainer of the Process Communication Model® in Romania.

Dragoș built two of Romania's most prominent NGOs, "Save the Danube Delta" and MaiMultVerde, spearheading a campaign that changed the younger generation's mentality about volunteerism and about protecting the environment.

He produced and presented several TV shows for public and private TV channels, including hosting the Romanian version of the internationally acclaimed format Survivor. He wrote columns for national newspapers and magazines (Academia Cațavencu, Evenimentul zilei, Esquire, Elle, The One). His latest book, "Despre curajul de a ne lăsa văzuți", published in 2016 by Curtea Veche, is a collection of essays on communication, vulnerability and growing up in post-communist Romania.
