THE FOUR ZONES
OF AUTHENTICITY
ZONE 1: KNOWING WHO YOU ARE
Knowing who you are is not an event or a one-and-done achievement. Because our circumstances constantly change, what was true for you yesterday might not be true even today. So how do you navigate this constant motion while staying connected to your most authentic self? It isn't meant to be guesswork — and doesn't have to be when you know how to be actively authentic. Zone 1 explores how it's done.
ZONE 2: EXPRESSING WHO YOU ARE
How do you move from knowing who you are to expressing who you are — with others, with yourself, and through your work in the world? Expression is where authenticity meets reality. Zone 2 builds the practice of expressing yourself fully, with the skills to do it across contexts.
ZONE 3: PROTECTING WHO YOU ARE
Sometimes who you are and what you need won't neatly fit with others' needs and expectations. Most of us learned to accommodate first and deal with the cost later — sometimes many years later. Zone 3 builds the practice of personal authority — the skills to protect who you are while staying engaged with the people, work, and commitments you care about.
LIVING THE MOST ALIVE VERSION OF WHO YOU ARE
ZONE 4:
Each day brings opportunities to grow into a more alive version of who you are — a version that not only satisfies your daily commitments, but is energized by your desires. Zone 4 builds the skills to recognize what makes you come alive, and then move toward it with the actions you take. With the concepts and strategies of Zone 4, you lay the foundation to shift from the life you're living to the life you truly want to be living.
