Bernhard Reingruber

Since my first Radical Honesty workshop in 2017, I consider myself a recovering perfectionist nice-guy. I have often been (and still am at times) concerned with doing things the “right” way and making no mistakes — a perfect life that left me stressed, inauthentic, and frequently disconnected. In order to not offend anyone and be liked by everyone, I fabricated a neat, friendly, smiley, social mask. Without it, I was scared, sometimes even running away from groups and social situations, or hiding behind a sophisticated verbal shield, being impressive in the face of fear. What a great leader! (NOT.. sarcasm alert!)

Through my honesty practice, I have glimpsed (and continue glimpsing) at how letting go of all of that exhausting controlling stuff can be freeing yet also enormously empowering. It’s sensing and relating in a world that is too unpredictable and ambiguous to do anything else anyway. I love it! And I feel like living more and more grounded in reality, being more helpful for friends and colleagues who need advice or guidance, and even leading teams and groups with a lot less drama than I used to.

So, after countless honest experiences I still sometimes find myself in between terror and joy when relating and sharing honestly, and I came to love the ride. The ride of MY life rather than the one that others might want me to lead or find more comfortable. And I want to share this love with as many people as possible. I want to spray it across the walls (which I won’t) and scream it from the tops of roofs (which I might).
