IF one’s doing something, like getting onstage & doing a presentation, is something one has no experience with..
THEN “fake it ‘till you make it” is absolutely-valid advice: you can’t gain experience doing presentations, without doing presentations!
Inherently-inauthentic people, however, are inherently-inauthentic people.
That is a different category.
People have to LEARN how to do, how to be, & that requires stepping outside of what one already-has-done.
How could it possibly be otherwise?

That’s not faking it, that’s just doing it and getting better with practice.

It is the mind set required to do something you are uncomfortable with such as public speaking. It helps people realize the confidence required to get up and speak and gain practice.
