Podcasts about Ego

What does it mean to truly heal—and why do so many of us struggle to even begin? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I sit down with healer, author, and spiritual educator Devi Brown for a deeply moving conversation about grief, joy, trauma, and the slow, sacred process of coming back to yourself. We talk about how healing often starts in survival mode, why joy takes practice, and how performative self-help can block real transformation. Devi shares powerful insights on breathwork, somatic healing, feminine softness, and devotion as a path to lasting change. Whether you’re navigating burnout, craving stillness, or trying to reclaim your worth, this episode is an invitation to soften, to feel, and to begin again—with compassion and intention.

Welcome back! Today's episode is a powerful one — because we're going deep into the trinity within us: the Ego, the Inner Child, and the Higher Self. We'll start from a spiritual perspective — zooming way out to remember why we are designed this way as souls choosing to evolve through our human experience. Each part of us is purposeful. Sacred. Designed for our growth. Then, I'll guide you through the distinct role each part plays: ✨ The Inner Child — innocence, emotion, and unmet needs

Send us a textWhat shapes us as fathers? For Kyle Rampy, Vice President, Central Region, at Tier 4 Group and father of four children under ten, the answer lies in embracing the light and shadow of his past.In this heartfelt conversation, Kyle takes us through his journey from a childhood fractured by divorce at age four to building a stable, values-driven home for his family. With remarkable vulnerability, he shares how moving between his mother in Kansas and father in Texas shaped his understanding of family dynamics, including a pivotal moment in third grade when missing over a month of school led to a custody change that would alter the trajectory of his life.Rather than glossing over difficult topics, Kyle dives deep into how his mother's struggles with depression impacted him, and his ongoing work toward forgiveness while she battles cancer today. "There's forgiveness there, even though there's been hurt," Kyle reflects, showing how breaking generational patterns often begins with healing our own wounds first.The conversation shifts to Kyle's parenting philosophy, built around three core values: leading with love, maintaining strong faith, and demonstrating unwavering integrity. His practical approach to emotional regulation stands out—instead of escalating tension when his children become upset, he's learned to get down on their level and ask curious questions. "What's causing you to have this reaction or emotion?" This simple shift has created not only a more peaceful home but also deeper connections with his children.We also explore Kyle's professional journey in staffing, his work at Tier 4, and his passion for supporting Women in Technology initiatives.  His values inform his leadership style, you will see firsthand during this episode. The episode concludes with a lightning round revealing everything from his favorite comedy movies (Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore) to who would play him in a movie (Ryan Reynolds).Whether you're navigating a complicated family history or simply wanting to lead your home with greater purpose, Kyle's story reminds us that our greatest parenting challenges often become our greatest gifts—if we're willing to do the inner work first.

Het draaide deze handelsdag weer om één man: Donald Trump. Hij zei dat 'ie verder wilde onderhandelen met Xi Jinping (deze week nog) en stapte in het vliegtuig naar het Midden-Oosten. Koud geland in Saoedi-Arabië sloot hij voor 600 miljard dollar aan deals.Twee bedrijven springen eruit. Boeing en Nvidia. De laatste mag ineens duizenden van zijn beste AI-chips gaan verkopen. De exportrestricties die de vorige Amerikaanse regering had verzonnen? Die worden opgeheven. Deze aflevering kijken we naar die ommezwaai en welke andere beursbedrijven gaan profiteren.Europa profiteert voorlopig nog niet, want zij zitten nog altijd niet met Trump om tafel. De Amerikaanse minister van Financien zegt dat dat er voorlopig niet in zit. Hoe lang moet Ursula vonder Leyen naar haar telefoon kijken en wat betekent het dat 'wij' geen deal hebben?Dat, maar ook hebben we het over de problemen van Alfen. Over de bonusrel bij KLM en de ontslagronde bij Microsoft.Ook hebben we het over de Amerikaanse economie. Daar regent het goed nieuws. De inflatie is lager dan gedacht én de recessievrees kan weer in de ijskast. Die trekken economen in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we're diving deep into the concept of spiritual flow, revealing that true alignment isn't about ego-driven desires, but about connecting with the Creator's higher guidance. Learn how challenges can be reframed as opportunities for healing, and that by observing our negative thoughts without judgment and accepting ourselves with love, we can transform blockages and tap into our soul's true potential. The episode also highlights the upcoming spiritual window of Lag BaOmer (Thursday night, May 15-Friday May 16) as a powerful time to access healing Light, which makes this week the perfect time to open our hearts, meditate, and create miracles for ourselves and others by deepening our connection to our divine essence. Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.

It's not always the big ruptures that create distance in a relationship.Sometimes, it's the tiny moments. The micro-misses. The everyday ways we unknowingly make our partner feel unseen, unimportant, or left out.In this episode, Steve and I talk about the slow burn of disconnection—what we call death by a thousand cuts—and how seemingly small behaviours can add up and quietly erode closeness over time.For Steve, it's when we're having a cuddle and the dogs jump in, and I start patting them instead. It might look harmless, but in that moment, he feels like something else just took priority. For me, it's when I'm mid-sentence and he glances at his phone or checks his watch.It sends the message—without words—that what I'm saying doesn't matter as much.We share how these moments land for us, what they actually mean underneath the surface, and how we're learning to own our impact, not just our intention.This isn't about getting it perfect. It's about being conscious of the little ways we disconnect… so we can choose to reconnect, again and again.If you've ever felt brushed off, dismissed, or like you're just not quite landing with your partner—this one will hit home.Big love,Kat & Steve xBuy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowSunday Meds - live event by the beach, June 22ndWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

In this fifth episode of SEASON 3 of the True Freedom Podcast, Bodhi and Richard explore the topic of Freedom is... EGO & AUTHENTICITY. The discussion covers: - why most men mistake their mask for their true self- the 5 layers that block authenticity (and how to reclaim it)- how your ego defends you — but also keeps you stuck- why embodiment matters more than saying the right thing- how nervous system regulation leads to integration- the real meaning of vulnerability in leadership and parenting- redefining success through spiritual and emotional intelligence- how to become the role model your kids (and team) need.The True Freedom podcast is for male leaders as they navigate the journey of what it means to be a man with worldy responsibilities – marriage, mortgage, business, leadership positions and kids. The podcast will explore our relationships with the external world… including the primary relationship with our beloved; our relationships with our children as a parent; with our career and purpose; with money; with leadership; with others and, most importantly, the relationship we have with ourselves.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode Heka Astra brings us full circle to conclude this three part series concerning the philosophy and occult implications found within Rudolph Steiner's Philosophy of Freedom. On the first side of the tape we discuss the philosophy of Monism and just how many concepts fit neatly inside of it and whether or not the world or life itself has a purpose. If so, where does it come from? In the extended show we wrap up all the loose ends and conclude with a rousing discussion on Steiner's ideas about morality, the imagination, the value of life itself, individuality, the genius, racial qualities (warning it gets controversial [not the views of the hosts!]) and answers, finally, once and for all, if we are truly free or not.

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Selina Maitreya, Spiritual Leader, Author, and Teacher of Practical Spirituality   Introduction:  In this mind-expanding episode of Higher Density Living, host Jason Rigby welcomes Selina Maitreya, a trailblazing spiritual teacher and author of Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life. After surviving a life-altering car crash and channeling a decade of divine downloads, Selina unveils a radical truth: every irritation—traffic jams, rude cashiers, even personal crises—is a secret doorway to oneness. Together, they explore how shifting your frequency, not just your thoughts, unlocks peace and purpose in the messiest moments. Packed with gritty stories and practical tools, this episode is a wake-up call to live spiritually in the real world.   Guest Bio: Selina Maitreya is an internationally acclaimed lecturer, author, and pioneer of Practical Spirituality—a hands-on approach to weaving higher consciousness into daily life. Her latest book, Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life (June 2024), is a workbook born from a decade of pain and divine guidance following a 2013 car crash that left her with a traumatic brain injury. From bankruptcy to breakthroughs, Selina's journey proves that responding to life's difficulties with love transforms everything. She's launching a Raise Your Frequency Transform Your Life Work Study Group in June 2025 to guide others in embodying this wisdom. Learn more at practicalspiritualitywithselina.com.   Key Discussion Points: 1. Everyday Chaos as a Spiritual Doorway Selina: “Traffic jams, rude cashiers—these are gold. They're opportunities to respond from love, not ego.” Jason: “People think spirituality is a cave and meditation, but you say it's right here in the mess.” Spirit's message: Difficulty exists so we can access our higher frequency—love.   2. Frequency vs. Thinking: The Game-Changer Jason: “Self-help says ‘change your thinking.' You say ‘change your frequency.' Why's that the fix we've missed?” Selina: “Thoughts are dense 3D structures—frequency is the building block. Shift that, and the brain follows effortlessly.” Science twist: The brain recognizes frequency, not new ideas—EEGs prove it's alive with energy.   3. Practical Oneness in Action Selina's phone hold story: “I said, ‘If I sound irritated, it's me, not you'—and flipped a woman's terrible day.” Pickle jar moment: Helped a grieving woman in a supermarket, turning fury into kindness. Jason: “That's oneness—your love connects to theirs, beyond the ego.”   4. Ego's Sneaky Trap: Personalization Jason: “Why do we make it about ‘me'—the narcissistic monkey mind?” Selina: “It's conditioning—low frequency lands, and we match it. Love gives a new pathway.” Insight: High frequency (love) kills victimhood; ego thrives on it.   5. Free Will: Saying No to Love Selina: “Free will is choosing yes or no to the divine as guidance—we've said no since kids.” Jason: “That shook me—why do we reject love?” Selina: “Fear's the default until we see the divine's power.”   6. The Brain Injury Book Miracle Jason: “You couldn't type or talk, yet Spirit said, ‘Write a book.' How?” Selina: “Five years of phone recordings, two years typing—seven years blind, trusting the divine.” First read: “I saw it after my editor—it blew me away. These tools kept me sane.”   7. Breakdown to Breakthrough Selina's chaos: Ditched a relationship, filed bankruptcy, moved multiple times—all while writing. Jason: “Most call that a breakdown—you call it a breakthrough. How'd you stay sane?” Selina: “A deep divine relationship pre-crash, plus daily practices like going quiet and asking, ‘What's the higher purpose?'”   8. Pain as an Alarm Clock Jason: “You say pain's not a dead end—it's an alarm. Explain that to someone in a health crisis.” Selina: “It's an alert to choose high frequency—feel gratitude in your heart, person by person, to shift the experience.” Example: Her student with vertigo lessened it through gratitude practice.   9. A Call to Action in Crazy Times Selina: “We're all called now—boots on the ground or shining a light. Respond with love in every moment.” Jason: “That's service—not just for us, but the oneness field we share.” Quote: “If we all responded from love, we'd be in a different place.”   Memorable Quotes: “Difficulty is your chance to shift—thank the cashier, thank the jerk in traffic.” – Selina “Change your frequency, not your thoughts—it's efficient, it's divine.” – Selina “Love's the only energy we all share—ego's pain is different, but oneness is universal.” – Selina “Pain's an alert—choose gratitude, and it's not the same.” – Selina “We're called now—every response from love is service.” – Selina   Resources Mentioned: Book: Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life by Selina Maitreya (June 2024) – Order at practicalspiritualitywithselina.com Work Study Group: Raise Your Frequency Transform Your Life Work Study Group – Starts June 2025, details at practicalspiritualitywithselina.com/work-with-selina/ Website: practicalspiritualitywithselina.com – Explore Selina's teachings and story   Call to Action: Grab Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life and start practicing today!

Most shop owners I talk to are focused on the usual things: keeping the machines humming, staying profitable, maybe planning for growth or succession. But what if the real unlock for your shop wasn't more tech or tighter margins—but a completely different way of thinking about why your business exists in the first place? That's what today's episode is about. I sat down with Court Durkalski, CEO of Truline Industries, and honestly, this conversation hit me harder than most. Court runs a $23 million aerospace machining company with 120 employees—and they give away 10% of their gross sales to global charitable causes. Not profits—sales.  That level of generosity is unheard of in manufacturing, and yet their quality metrics, delivery performance, and bottom line are world-class. The kicker? That whole culture came from a very personal place, and a journey that includes addiction, near financial collapse, and walking away from a path to ministry. I wanted to understand how a shop like Truline stays so focused, so precise, and so mission-aligned. And what I found is that none of it is accidental. From hiring practices to equipment decisions to the way they manage customer relationships, everything at Truline is built around this core belief that doing great work and doing good in the world aren't at odds—they're actually the same thing. If you're someone who's always thought values should stay separate from business—or maybe you've just never thought about your shop as a force for something bigger—I think this episode will leave you thinking differently. It sure did for me.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

Alex Rodriguez shares why in sports and business, striking out is just a part of the game.From the baseball field to the boardroom, great communication is critical for success. But as Alex Rodriguez knows, we don't always hit it out of the park. For this sports superstar turned entrepreneur, striking out is never the end of the story.“I'm fifth all-time in the history of strikeouts,” says Rodriguez. “That means there's only four people in the history of mankind that have failed more than me.” For the 14-time Major League Baseball All-Star and World Series champion, failures aren't endings, but opportunities to learn and grow. "The key is how you get back up with the same energy and enthusiasm," explains Rodriguez, who is now chairman and CEO of A-Rod Corp, leading a team of experts in building high-growth businesses.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, co-hosted by Matt Abrahams and Stanford GSB colleague Jeffrey Pfeffer, Rodriguez shares lessons on resilience, authenticity, and effective communication. From maintaining a "slow heartbeat" in high-pressure moments to his approach of "intentional listening," he offers insights on leadership, giving feedback, and viewing communication as "an unselfish act." Whether you're stepping up to the plate or stepping up to present, these strategies can help you turn strikeouts into home runs.Episode Reference Links:Alex RodriguezJeffrey Pfeffer  Ep.166 Why Relying on Talent Alone Will Fail YouEp.153 Listen Up, Leaders: A Record-Setting Coach's Guide to Communication  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:53) - Teaching at Stanford: Strategic Pivoting (04:28) - Preparing for Life After Baseball (06:51) - Performing Under Pressure (08:16) - Finding Balance Post-Pandemic (09:14) - Building a Media Presence (11:05) - Creating Great Teams (12:15) - The Role of Ego and Intentional Listening (14:26) - Giving and Receiving Feedback (17:06) - Setbacks, Resilience, and Redemption (20:09) - Developing Authenticity (21:39) - The Final Three Questions (25:31) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

This week on Mental Man Monday, Izzy Baker goes solo—and he's got some things to get off his chest. The episode opens with a recap of last week's powerful PSA track, As a Man, You Feel Too Much, featuring Dr. Matt Zakreski. Izzy highlights a vulnerable moment where Dr. Matt shared how early in his marriage, he struggled to let his wife help with the rent. The issue? Masculine pride. Social conditioning. Ego.What started as a disagreement became a moment of breakthrough—and one many men will recognize but rarely admit. From there, Izzy dives into the culture. He reacts to Bow Wow's recent appearance on Club Shay Shay, where Bow Wow addressed Orlando Brown's wild claims. But instead of clapping back, he took the high road—praising Orlando's talent while calling out the behavior. Izzy raises the question: Is that grace, or just strategic silence? The conversation deepens as Izzy unpacks Ace Metaphor's viral comment on Funky Friday with Cam Newton, where Ace claimed, “A lot of heterosexual men don't like women.”Izzy pushes the dialogue further—asking if some women might not like men either, and if the real issue is that we're all performing peace while secretly at war. This episode goes beyond headlines. It's a deep dive into emotional honesty, gender roles, unspoken insecurities, and the silent ways ego blocks healing. From the cost of independence to the fear behind emotional expression, Izzy challenges listeners to consider what healthy masculinity actually looks like in 2025. This isn't just commentary—it's reflection. And for many men, it might be the mirror they didn't know they needed.Listen in. Reflect deeper.

Changing your mind isn't indecision—it's intelligent leadership. And that's why great leaders change their minds. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I dig into why the best leaders are those who are open to changing their minds. If leadership is about learning, then pivoting when presented with new information is not just acceptable—it's essential. One of my favorite leadership philosophies comes from futurist Paul Saffo, who coined the phrase: “Strong opinions, loosely held.” It means having the confidence to act decisively and the humility to evolve your thinking when things change. This blend of conviction and adaptability is what makes a leader trustworthy, resilient, and future-ready. Why is it so hard to change your mind? We explore the psychology behind resistance, including: • Cognitive dissonance – the discomfort of holding conflicting beliefs • The sunk cost fallacy – continuing down a path just because you've already invested in it • Confirmation bias – our tendency to seek information that confirms our beliefs • Ego and fear of looking wrong – which can lead to rigidity and poor decision-making Leading by example I share a few personal stories where I changed my mind as a leader—once during a key hiring decision and again in response to a product development timeline. These moments weren't easy. They required introspection, courage, and a willingness to let go of ego. But they helped build trust with my team, made our business stronger, and reinforced one of my core leadership beliefs: Great leadership isn't about always being right—it's about being open to getting it right. Mental flexibility is a leadership muscle You'll walk away with four practical tools for building mental flexibility: 1. Build in decision checkpoints. 2. Create safe feedback loops. 3. Practice saying “I don't know… yet.” 4. Make self-reflection a ritual. I also tie all of this back to the Ownership Mindset—because leadership is about owning both your successes and your missteps. That means being willing to evolve, especially when it's uncomfortable. Key Takeaways • The best leaders are learners—and learners change their minds. Resistance is natural, but self-awareness can override it. Changing your mind with transparency builds credibility. Reflection and feedback improve decision-making agility. The Ownership Mindset requires the courage to grow and adapt. Challenge of the Week Say out loud: “I changed my mind.” Even just once. Pay attention to how it feels and how it shifts your thinking. Then ask yourself: “What belief or decision am I holding onto too tightly?” If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you'd share it with another leader who could use this message. And don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Reflect Forward—your support helps amplify these conversations on modern leadership.

Most of us are terrible at feedback. It's awkward, forced, or worse, completely ineffective. In this episode, Michael, Hari, and Vipin break down why that is and how to fix it. They draw from their own journeys at places like McKinsey, MTV, Goldman Sachs, and Upbuild to show how feedback can be an act of ego…or a gateway to growth, trust, and real connection. They unpack what makes feedback land (or fall flat), why intention matters more than anything else, and how to make feedback human again.Links Enneagram Certification Program (starts May 17th) Upbuild Coaching Certification Training (starts in October) Upbuild Website Instagram: @upbuildnycFacebook: UpbuildLinkedIn: Upbuild

Join me in this second part of the podcast on accountability. I wanted to take some time to discuss lying, the ego, and how, according to Jordan Peterson, lying distorts reality and weakens personal integrity. Also, very often, we lie to protect ourselves, which ties directly to the topic of accountability and the ego. Ego protection is a psychological defense mechanism that people use to maintain a positive self-image and protect their self-esteem from perceived threats. This instinct can significantly interfere with our ability to take accountability for our actions, especially when those actions have negative consequences or reflect poorly on us.

Come with me as I revisit a conversation I had with my husband (James Collins) three years ago. From understanding "Ego vs. Confidence," to loving yourself despite opinions from the outside world, this episode focuses on the importance of embracing change and falling in love with who you are. Listen to this intimate discussion and practical tips on how to "shift" without the overwhelm.

According to the kabbalists, the purpose of life is to align with one's soul by transforming the ego's selfish tendencies into a heart that naturally loves and cares for others, making love a second nature that connects effortlessly with the good in others—an essential goal of spiritual transformation. By trusting in the Creator and approaching relationships with an open heart, we can unlock greater fulfillment and joy, recognizing that our potential for unlimited happiness already exists within us but is limited by our own perceptions. This week and every week, taking the risk to be more open and vulnerable allows us to embrace discomfort, unlocking more of our potential while cultivating lasting fulfillment and deeper connections with others.Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.

In this episode, I'm sharing a season of my life I've never forgotten—because it brought me to my knees.There was a time when my Wheel of Life was absolutely wrecked. I wasn't taking care of my health. I had no grip on my finances. I was spiritually, emotionally, and physically burnt out—on autopilot, pretending everything was okay… until it wasn't.Eventually, life caught up with me. I couldn't pay rent. I was scraping coins together for groceries. And it hit a point where I had to do something I never thought I'd do—I called my brother and asked for money. That phone call cracked me open. It was humbling, embarrassing, and confronting. But what it also did was lead me back to something I'd forgotten about: the Wheel of Life.My dad reintroduced it to me not as some cheesy self-help tool—but as a mirror. To meet my life exactly where it was at. To stop pretending. To stop performing. And to take responsibility—not shame—for how out of alignment I'd become.This episode is real. And it's a reminder that when life feels like it's falling apart, sometimes it's actually asking you to come back to what matters.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - be the first to know hereSunday Meds - live event by the beach, June 22ndWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Here's the brutal truth: Self-awareness is the ultimate sales skill. We obsess over skills like closing techniques, objection handling, and prospecting cadence. But self-awareness is the real make-or-break. Self-awareness is the lever that separates ethical, high-performance sellers from out-of-touch order takers. If you're not self-aware, you're leaving money on the table and damaging trust. Sales Without Self-Awareness is a Wrecking Ball Let's get honest. Lack of self-awareness is a deal-killer. It's what causes reps to: Over-talk and under-listen Project their objections onto the buyer Miss subtle cues because they're too focused on a static script Push when they should pause This isn't just a skill gap—it's a blind spot. When you don't know how best to connect with your prospect because you're not listening—that's a dangerous place to sell from. Self-awareness is your internal compass. Without it, you can't navigate objections, establish trust, or conduct a real discovery conversation. You can't be consultative without being conscious. The Ego Trap: Overconfidence Kills Awareness It might seem counterintuitive, but your biggest blind spot in sales might be your own ego. Close a few deals, and suddenly you stop prepping, shortcut discovery, and assume you know the buyer. That's when self-awareness can tank. Confidence is good until it turns into arrogance. When you stop reflecting, stop asking questions, and stop listening, you lose your edge. Sales is a what 's-happening-today game. Yesterday's win doesn't guarantee today's deal. Top sellers stay humble enough to ask:  “Did I connect, or just perform?”  “Am I guiding, or just trying to sound impressive?” “Does my solution fit their problem, or am I just trying to land a quick deal?” The most crucial part of self-awareness? Checking your mindset—and your overconfidence—before it derails a lucrative deal. Ego says you've got it handled. Self-awareness asks if that's really true. Only one of those gets you to President's Club. The Two Lanes of Emotionally Intelligent Awareness Awareness in sales isn't just about having “emotional intelligence” and keeping arrogance in check. It's about two critical lanes: 1. Seller Self-Awareness You must know how your tone, presence, and mindset affect the buyer. That means recognizing when: You're chasing approval instead of guiding decisions You're hesitating out of fear of rejection You're overexplaining because you're insecure You're emotionally reacting instead of staying neutral Top sellers audit themselves for these moments constantly. They ask:  "Was I too defensive there?"  "Did I listen or just wait to talk?"  "Am I showing up with certainty or neediness?" A self-inventory is no picnic. But this self-audit allows the elite to stay composed, curious, and in control—especially when things get tense. 2. Buyer's State Awareness A self-aware seller is tuned in. They're not just listening to what is said, but why it's being said, and what isn't being said at all. Consultative selling is all about sensing, so it's: Knowing when a buyer's guard is up Being alert to when they're overwhelmed Learning when they're intrigued but afraid to say yes Watching the micro-expressions Noticing the shift in tone The best lead by aligning with the buyer's state. By understanding the buyer's motivations, emotional triggers, and decision-making pace, self-aware sellers engage in deal-making, not manipulation.  Self-Awareness Might Be New to You So there's no doubt self-awareness nets meetings and closes deals. But here's the problem: Most sellers have never been coached to insightfully reflect.  They're trained on scripts, not self-regulation. They're told to “just make the calls,” but not how to manage the emotions that come with rejection, hesitation, or being ghosted. It's easy to understand the challenges.
