Egonomics

Today, Sharon and I were leading a group through the Egonomics workshop.
If you haven't read Egonomics, I highly recommend it.

I'm a big believer in using language to re-center a discussion.
Marcum and Smith do this very effective in Egonomics, first by discussing humilty as a midpoint between egotistical and ego-empty - rather than as the opposite of ego.

Secondly, I love their distinction that the overuse of a strength is NOT a weakness, but rather a counterfeit. It feels and looks a lot like the original, but produces a lesser outcome.

The workshop never fails to produce an 'a-ha' moment in both the audience and the facilitators.
Check out their website, there's some good downloads there.
