Be yourself at work: avoid masks and cognitive dissonance!

Episode description
French

  🎃 It's almost Halloween ! Get out your best costume for the occasion... Unless you already wear it?

Every day, when we interact with others, we bring into play what Erving Goffman (my intellectual 😍 crush) calls " the face ". A part of us that we decide to show. In each interaction, we can mobilize a difference " face ".

🎭  But what happens when the face we show at work becomes a real mask that prevents us from being ourselves ?

🎙️ In this episode of Métro, Boulot, Finito,  we tackle this famous mask and the concept of cognitive dissonance.
