Unlock Your Authentic Professional Edge:
The Authenticity Journey
Overview
In today’s dynamic professional landscape, authenticity is no longer just a personal trait; it’s a powerful driver of productivity, creativity, and effective leadership. Many trainings offer insights, but few deliver tangible, lasting change.
The Authenticity Journey is a comprehensive, unconventional experiential program designed by FocusU to empower you to live your authenticity where it counts most: at work.
We demystify the notion that authenticity is just “being yourself with closed ones.” This journey shows it’s a superpower for all interactions – boosting your creativity, amplifying your power, and recharging your energy, personally and professionally.
Your Authentic Advantage:
A Breakthrough Experiential Workshop
Let the facts motivate you:
- Authenticity at work: Boosts performance by 40% and increases engagement and creativity by 60%.
- Authentic Leadership: Leads to a 60% increase in team satisfaction and a 40% boost in performance.
- Talent Retention: Organizations with authentic leadership are 30% more likely to retain top talent.
- According to studies by McKinsey and Gallup, employees who feel they can be authentic are up to 4.5 times more likely to feel empowered to perform at their best.
This is not a typical staff training program. It is a fully experiential learning based training designed to help you tap into your core strengths. Through guided self-reflection, engaging group activities, and practical, hands-on exercises, you will cultivate the presence and clarity needed to navigate challenges and contribute with genuine conviction.

Uma Desai
Imagine a professional life where you don’t have to choose between your best self and your most productive self.
What if your inner voice wasn’t a distraction, but your greatest guide?
Here’s the simple truth I discovered: when your ‘being’ and your ‘doing’ are in harmony, you don’t just feel better—you become even more creative, productive, and efficient. This isn’t just about feeling good; it’s about performing at your absolute peak, with a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment.
I am so passionate about helping you discover this for yourself. Join me to explore the power of authenticity, and let’s unlock your full potential together.
Girija Banymandhub Teeluck
Hi, I’m Girija
I believe life feels most fulfilling when who you are and what you do are in harmony. Instead of wearing different masks, imagine showing up fully as yourself—genuine, creative, and purposeful.
I’m passionate about helping others find that alignment, so they can stop performing and start thriving. Because when you operate from that space of authenticity, you don’t just feel better; you show up stronger, clearer, and more powerfully than ever before.
I invite you to join me on this journey. Let’s explore what becomes possible when you stop performing and start being.
Nirupama Chakraborty
Hi, I am Nirupama. For me, authenticity begins with awareness – a compassionate, honest look within that helps us understand who we truly are beneath the surface.
As I’ve deepened my awareness of thoughts, emotions, and patterns, I’ve found it easier to show up with clarity, intention and truth. This journey hasn’t always been easy, but it’s helped me embrace my imperfections and connect more meaningfully with others.
In awareness, I’ve found the courage to be authentic – and in authenticity, a sense of freedom and alignment.
I’m excited to take you on this journey. Are you ready?
Nirupama Chakraborty
In a world where we feel we have to show up differently in every space, be it professional, community, family or hobbies, it can feel like we are ‘performing for the labels we wear’. This role playing creates resistance, exhaustion, and unease within our bodies, in our mental clarity, and in our productivity.
The antidote is simple: Know who it is you are with conviction, through vulnerability, connection, and choice.
Combining my background in Science, Leadership Development, and the Arts, I am dedicated to giving people the space and tools to live radiantly with presence, power, and progress. In other words, in full Authencity.

About Us
FocusU Engage is one of India’s leading names in the field of learning and OD interventions. The inspiration behind FocusU is a quote from Walt Disney: “Laughter is no enemy to learning”.
“To enable people & teams be more through meaningful learning.”
This is the mission that has driven us over the years and made us a name that L&D stakeholders across more than a 900+ corporates place their faith on to deliver every single time.
We solve two big problems for our clients.
- Learner engagement: When a learning intervention is not customised, learners are not engaged.
- Application of learning: Without learning transfer, investments on training deliver very less ROI.
We believe one size never fits all. Hence for each engagement, we take time to understand the need deeply. We ask a lot of questions and at times push back against what we think are unrealistic expectations from a training program. But eventually this helps our clients and us arrive at a shared understanding on how we can create tangible impact for the business. Only then do we proceed to designing the learning intervention. And we own it end-to-end in terms of content, delivery, communication and program managemdelivery, communication and program management.
Our learner-centricity is not an empty promise. We have backed it up from our founding days more than a decade and a half ago, with an unconditional promise to our customers that we call, “Happy or Free.”
Every year, we conduct around 1000+ learning workshops – that touch the lives of over 40,000 employees. As our tagline says, we hope to inspire each person we touch to #BeMore.
