Episode notes
Ego Blocks True Leadership
- The ego is the biggest impediment to great leadership because it constructs a separate self that seeks improvement.
- Selfless leadership means seeing through the ego and leading from that non-dual awareness.
Hang Your Ego On The Hook
- Ashutosh recalls telling retail colleagues to 'hang their ego' at home because ego has no place in retail.
- Katrijn agreed but clarified she means seeing through the entire concept of a separate self, not just curbing arrogance.
You Are Being Lived
- You are not the doer or controller of your life; you are being lived, which allows relaxation and less management.
- Observing thoughts as they arise reveals that experience happens through you rather than being produced by you.
