Authentic, Genuine, Sincere

nonprofit fundraising

Being authentic is...

accepting yourself and others
having a healthy ego
accepting mistakes
considering others

Being genuine is...

having a healthy self-esteem
embracing vulnerability
sharing yourself
listening actively

Being sincere is...

encouraging emotional intelligence
accepting what happens
demonstrating empathy
living honestly

All certainly move in the same direction. But even in their overlap there are subtle differences.

The best, most successful, and happy nonprofit askers deal in all three all day, every day.
