The Plus One Theory centers on the idea that there's always one more intentional step we can take when we think we've reached our limits, creating real change without burnout. May's episodes focus on health and well-being across all dimensions as we explore Mental Health Awareness Month.
• Leading without ego requires recognizing that humility is strength, not weakness
• Ego-driven leadership leads to burnout, comparison, and disconnection
• Ask yourself: "Am I trying to prove something or am I trying to build something?"
• Humility isn't thinking less of yourself – it's thinking of yourself less often
• Four practical steps to practice humility: pause before reacting, ask questions instead of making statements, admit when you're wrong, and celebrate others loudly
• My personal health journey demonstrates how ego can interfere with finding solutions
• This week's challenge: Pick one moment to practice stepping aside and letting someone else lead
