Fri Jan 30 2026
Letting go of ego as a leader isn’t about losing your edge — it’s about leading from presence instead of pressure. In this closing episode of The Inner Work of Leadership series, we explore embodied leadership, nervous system regulation, and the shift from control to trust.
What if the next level of your leadership doesn’t require more effort — but more presence?
In this final episode of The Inner Work of Leadership series, we explore what it truly means to let go of ego as a leader — not the loud, arrogant kind, but the quieter ego that shows up as control, over-responsibility, perfectionism, and the need to prove your worth through doing.
This conversation is an invitation to shift:
from control to trustfrom proving to presencefrom performance to embodimentYou’ll learn how ego often acts as a protector — shaped by past experiences that taught you to stay vigilant, capable, and self-reliant — and why leadership at this stage of growth asks for something different: grounded presence, nervous system regulation, and trust in yourself.
