Conventional wisdom tells us that ego is a bad thing. Successful leaders with too much ego have questionable integrity, and they tend to create toxic cultures detrimental to the organizations they command. Ego is painted as the enemy, an adversary to be restrained and limited.
But what if this is the wrong approach? What if we could enlist the ego as a powerful ally and turn our fears into fuel?
Today on Women’s Empowerment School, Sylvia is walking us through the fourth chapter of her book, 12 Leadership Powers for Successful Women, ‘The Power of Loving Your Ego.’ She explains how the ego is actually committed to our safety and survival and describes how it gets deeply ingrained in our subconscious through early childhood experiences.
Sylvia discusses our mission to heal and rewire the subconscious programming that triggers self-sabotaging behaviors like self-doubt, procrastination and perfectionism. Listen in for insight around reframing the ego as a committed servant and leveraging fear as the fuel for your dreams!
