The Authenticity Compass

Key Definitions

Authenticity: Being true to yourself and others. This requires understanding yourself and the skills you need to make your best choices. Your best choices support your alignment and balance.

Alignment: A state of optimum connection between you and others. It is established and sustained by the existence of a shared, directed purpose. Being in alignment means your relationships are defined by mutual respect, clear communication, and collaboration (i.e. relationship harmony)

Balance: A state of equilibrium. Balance reflects strength and is expressed through mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional stability. Being in balance means you are giving your mind, body, heart, and soul the attention they need to be in an optimum state of health.

Conscious Choice: A decision focused on achieving alignment and balance. Conscious choice requires ongoing awareness of the internal forces (i.e., your perceptions and judgments) and external forces (e.g., social, environmental, economic, political) affecting you. Conscious choice is the foundation for sustainable success and happiness.

Preference: How you tend to perceive and judge the world.

PJ Pair: The Authenticity Compass applies Jung’s mental functions for perception (sensing and intuition) and judgment (thinking and feeling). The Authenticity Compass reinforces the fact that every perception is always accompanied by a judgment. There are only four Perception-Judgment pairings:

  • Sensing-Thinking (ST)
  • Sensing-Feeling (SF)
  • Intuitive-Thinking (NT)
  • Intuitive-Feeling (NF)
