            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.
