English term or phrase: bring your whole self to work
When asked if it is safe to take risks, respondents were confident about taking risks on their small teams but not in large meetings and at the organizational level.

When asked, ‘Do you believe anyone would deliberately act in a way that undermines your efforts?’ respondents expressed mixed views.

When asked, ‘Can you ***bring your whole self to work***?’ most said yes. Some said they could not, or they choose not to bring their whole selves to work.

Alguna idea de una traducción apropiada para esta expresión?

Mostrarse de forma genuina y natural


Explanation:
1. adj. Auténtico, legítimo. Interés genuino. Versión genuina.

2. adj. Propio o característico. Producto genuino de una época.

"Ser genuino o genuina, casi nunca es un producto de nuestra educación, en todo caso es una evolución desde nuestra educación"
Y lo digo porque nuestra educación ante todo pretende socializarnos, acomodarnos y adaptarnos. Es decir, hacernos miembros de nuestro entorno y para ello ha de limitar o reprimir, a veces con exceso y torpeza, a quienes llevamos dentro. Y esto funciona como un antibiótico de amplio espectro, que además de acabar con las bacterias de nuestro cuerpo se lleva por delante elementos propios y necesarios del mismo. ¿Cuáles? Intuición, talento, creatividad, carácter, espontaneidad, liderazgo, etc.

Respecto al verdadero significado de esta expresión se puede leer más aquí:
https://www.betterup.com/blog/bring-your-whole-self-to-work#...

What does it mean to “bring your whole self to work”?
Bringing your whole self to work means being authentic. That means acknowledging your personality, including the quirky bits, and bringing your interests, hopes, dreams, and even fears with you, even if they don’t seem relevant to your work. The reality is that you are bringing all that with you anyhow — it’s better to acknowledge it and have the opportunity to be more of your best self at work. In addition, when you value your own experiences, challenges, and unique perspective instead of burying them, you may discover that they are more relevant to your work than you thought.
