Brillliant Braveheart Authenticity Award

"Can we really measure authenticity--let alone turn it into a competition of sorts?" "How can you even decide how "authentic" someone is without knowing them in person?" "But won't there be people who try to fake 'being authentic' just to win?"

I'm not sure, but I'm willing to find out!

The "Authentic as Fuuuck" Brilliant Braveheart Awards were created to showcase entrepreneurs who are modeling authenticity, transparency, vulnerability and integrity in their businesses. It's our hope that it will inspire others to give themselves permission to show more of their true colors (even and especially when that includes using colorful language).

We all have shitty days, we all fuck up, we often struggle with the very thing we help others do...that's all 100% okaaaay.

The "Authentic as Fuuuck" Brilliant Braveheart Award is not about perfection, a polished image or pretending to feel or be anything other than you are. It's about having the guts to bravely let yourself be human, and to share your human-ness, through the channel of your business following, with the people who need to hear your message.

Living at the Leading Edge

Wendy has been at the leading edge of industries as diverse as conscious parenting, EFT Tapping, pickleball, polyamory and—of course—authenticity in business. For years she has argued that the most successful and impactful people in the coming century will be those who are willing to be authentically honest, vulnerable and transparent as they work collaboratively to share their gifts and create a better, more just, kind and loving world.

Wendy holds degrees in Economics and Psychology from The University of Chicago and is a two-time USA Pickleball Association National Gold Medalist. She is the the co-author of the Amazon.com #1 best-selling book Smart Pickleball which she wrote with her then-husband as they built a six-figure coaching business in the little-known sport of pickleball.

She founded the Brilliant Braveheart Awards to recognize people who are already building an authentic business based on their gifts, passions and values and to help inspire millions more to do the same.
