1 Spot the Ego Traps - Defensive reactions when feedback arrives. - Bragging to mask insecurity. - Refusing to admit errors.
These are the unhealthy patterns we’ll redirect.
2 The Overcoming Ego Technique 1. Pause & Breathe – Give yourself a 5‑second window before replying. 2. Name the Feeling – Say, “I feel defensive,” and label it. 3. Reframe – Ask, What can I learn from this? rather than Who’s right? 4. Share – Verbally acknowledge a mistake: “I missed that detail, thanks for pointing it out.”
Each step builds humility, the healthy counterpart that quiets the ego.
