AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

A powerful, timely, and inspiring guide for embracing your most authentic self at work-and why it matters-from the first-ever Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX.

Featuring a foreword by Gary Vaynerchuk
In a world obsessed with perfection-and workplaces wired for efficiency over humanity-Claude Silver offers a new language for the beautiful mess of being human at work: showing up as your true self.
No matter our role, seniority, or generation, we all want the same things: to feel valued, trusted, respected, and like we belong. When we stop performing and start being, we unlock our capacity to connect, thrive, and do our best work. Not only is this shift liberating-it's the antidote to burnout, an end to the myth of "fitting in," and a proven path to building bold, human-first teams.
Through her experience as the Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX, Silver offers a compelling vision for how authenticity and connection transform leadership, ignite innovation, and elevate workplace culture. Silver draws on research and thousands of hours of direct experience-listening, coaching, testing, team building, and speaking-and introduces a new framework based on three pillars:

Emotional Optimism - leading with hope and possibilityEmotional Bravery - having the hard conversations with heartEmotional Efficiency - driving clarity through compassion and focus

Be Yourself at Work provides actionable insights, relatable stories, and a practical roadmap to navigate a workplace where the old models are failing. In an era where technology evolves faster than we can imagine, humanity is our greatest asset. Authentic presence is the currency of the future-a game-changer for individuals and organizations alike.
