Episode 055: 7 Compelling Reasons to Check Your Ego at the Door

Confidence can be a great thing, and it can take you far. However, when your ego gets in the way it can make you think you’re the only person good enough. This can create tension in the workplace, put a strain on your relationships and damage your career progression.
