What is
authenticity
deficit?
The Authenticity Deficit refers to the growing gap in the financial industry between what advisors claim—putting clients first—and the reality of profit-driven practices that prioritize organizational goals. This deficit occurs when advisors lose autonomy, follow rigid scripts, and compromise genuine client care for metrics and compliance. The Authenticity Deficit challenges professionals to reclaim their authenticity by shifting from a “what’s in it for me” mindset to “how can I serve,” fostering trust, integrity, and true client-first service.
