Know your audience. Be thoughtful and intentional about your words and actions. Be open and curious to feedback received - and take it for what it's worth. If you make a mistake - and you will because you're human - apologize. You shouldn't dim your light for fear of offending people, but you can adjust how/where/when you shine your light while taking other people into consideration. I don't think that makes us any less authentic, but, actually, far more human.
