Authenticity: Is Being Real Always the Right Call?

Are you being authentic — or just playing the part? This week on the CAPIO Chirp, we dive deep into what it really means to be authentic as a public information officer.

Join us as we chat with Dr. Chris Hopwood, personality psychology expert from the University of Zurich, to explore:
✅ What authenticity actually is (and isn’t)
✅ How it shows up — and why it matters — in public communication
✅ When “being real” helps… and when it might hurt
✅ Comedy, irony, and sharks in rivers (yes, really)
✅ How to stay true to yourself while still doing your job

Whether you're managing public messaging, facing online trolls, or navigating policies you don't agree with — this episode is for you.
