Episode #58: Letting Go of Ego

As humans, it is part of our natural evolution to be curious. It’s that curiosity that helps us grow up, learn, and develop. As we get older and wiser through our positive as well as negative experiences, we can become and build our knowledge, sometimes we get comfortable in what we know. It’s a safe place to be. As leaders, there’s danger in that – if we stop asking questions we stop learning, stop growing. Those behaviors of protecting our mastery of knowledge can be seen as protecting our ego. Listen in as Dewey, Rae, & Bryana chat about ego - what it is, how it's different from self-confidence, and how to let some of it go to enhance your ability to lead more effectively.
