Manage to Engage

In this episode, you’ll hear how one member of the call applies the self-reflective tools we discussed last week in their own life and relationship, which you can then use to model your own self-reflection.   Then you’ll learn how to apply these same ideas and tools as a manager so that you mentor others towards maturing beyond ego.   As you listen to this episode, remember the questions that we discussed last week from Byron Katie’s The Work:   What’s the thought that you’re holding onto? How do you react when you’re believing that thought? Who would you be without believing that thought?   Sit with those questions. Try to experience the version of you that comes up, the version of you that surrenders the egoic response. I’d love your feedback.

At some point in your life, you have almost certainly experienced pain or suffering as a result of trying to get what you want. And as you learn from this pain, over and over again, you start to practice self-reflection; you start to realize that some part of yourself is steering you in the wrong direction.   This healthy distrust of yourself is a key moment in the maturation out of ego — it’s when you start to understand and experience the separation between yourself and your ego.   Today, you’re going to learn about some tools you can use once you get to this point of maturation, beginning with an exploration of Byron Katie’s The Work.

The ego gets a bad rap, but it’s essential to both our personal and societal development.    We should express gratitude for and acknowledge the good that our egos bring. Our egos got us where we are today. But we also need to understand that they will not get us where we want to go tomorrow, both as individuals and as a species   There’s a final stage of maturation that many people never see, maturing beyond the ego, but it isn’t talked about in any mainstream way. So, even if this is your first introduction to the concept, you’re probably a ways ahead of the curve just by listening to this episode. I’d love your feedback.
