There’s no doubt that your ego can be of great service to you. It can help you develop confidence, speak up for yourself and win in life. It can also get you into trouble when it shows up as self-protection, arrogance and self-righteousness. 

Have you ever felt left out or excluded from important conversations or meetings at work? Have you ever hid or covered parts of who you are or what you believe — your political or religious affiliation, or details about your personal life, history and background, for example — in order to fit in and be accepted at work?
