Episode 66: Identity Crisis at Work? Reclaim It with S.W.A.G.
Manage episode 511319626 series 3524823
Summary
Identity isn’t a job title—it’s energy in motion. In this conversation, Coach Mo and co-host Algie Mosley unpack the “identity crisis” leaders face when titles, roles, or achievements become the measure of worth. Using the S.W.A.G.™ framework—Self-Awareness, Why-Power, Aligned Action, and Grit—they show how to silence the punk-ass inner critic, reset energy levels, and move from stagnation to momentum. Algie shares a powerful shift from self-doubt to “I am” confidence, plus a locker-room metaphor for leaders who need a real place to regroup and recalibrate. If you’re leading under pressure, battling impostor thoughts, or stuck in autopilot, this episode shows how to reclaim identity, raise your energy, and take aligned action that lasts.
Key Takeaways
- Name the opponent: Spot how the inner critic disguises fear and stalls action in meetings, public speaking, and daily decisions.
- Shift your state: Use energy levels awareness to move from catabolic reactions to creative, solution-oriented responses.
- S.W.A.G.™ in practice: Reconnect to Why-Power, choose one aligned action, then reinforce with grit to rebuild momentum.
- Locker room for leaders: Create a private space—the Inner Arena—to peel back masks, reset, and plan adjustments.
- Identity > titles: Success is a chapter, not the whole book; identity comes from values and consistent aligned actions.
