The idea behind the name Big Self is a paradox. We encourage people to do the inner work before they take big leaps, so they know their ladder is leaning on the right wall in the first place, and that they're motivated for the right reasons. Or if they come to us in burnout or crisis, we still begin with inner work, which usually beings with self-awareness training, and personality "hacking".

When it comes to the self we want to diffuse the ego so that when we lean into our ambitions and aspirations we do so with authenticity, healthy boundaries, integration, and sustainable purpose.

We work with businesses to help them improve their communication and culture. That is why we do have an audience that talks about personality types in order to shortcut the inner growth. We've indexed hard on that this past year.

More recently we're hitting on topics like burnout, healthy work culture, shorter workweeks, boundaries, and topics related to the outward manifestation of real change.

What we're talking about today: 

• How the idea for the name came about. The Buddhist idea of the Big Self.
• How it came to mean aim high but also manage your ego and how you engage with the world.
• How we focused on burnout at first.
• How we have come into the Enneagram as a tool for personal growth and development.
• How we are for leaders in the professional world, but we also are getting ready to make offerings to parents and couples.
