Why Quiet Ego Patterns Are Limiting Women’s Influence
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever considered that one of the biggest barriers to women leading confidently isn't skill or experience, but an unmanaged ego? I realized this during a recent conversation with leadership coach Christie Garcia, and it’s a game-changer for how I think about influence and presence.
We often think of ego in extremes, either the loudest, most boastful voice, or the quietest, but both can silently shape our actions without us realizing. Christy shared how our unconscious ego patterns shaped since childhood can quietly limit our influence if left unmanaged. These aren’t just leadership issues; they affect every level of our lives, from boardrooms to dinner tables.
Remember, leadership is a practice, not a perfection. Keep watching for those tiny wins, they add up to big change.
