How we think Neha Indoria and Bhavna Awasthy

Emotional intelligence, by itself, does not prescribe a moral direction. It provides the tools to navigate and influence emotional landscapes, but the application of these tools depends on the individual's moral and ethical framework.
But what happens when individuals with high EI, start to use this power to manipulate others and create personal success with little regard of the fallout on others.
Bhavna Awasthy & Neha Indoria explore these aspects, their detection, management and more in this episode.

This world is a playground of Maya or illusion, where what seems real is not, and what is not real seems so. Or rather we live in a world of deceptions, some exisiting before us, others create dfor us and those that we create for ourselves. And it is these deceptions within us that we are exploring today. From the little lies we use to protect our egos to the grand narratives that shape our identities, deceptions are a constant part of our existence. These self-created illusions can offer comfort, they can also be something that keeps us from becoming what we really are.

Imposter syndrome is a space where Success and Achievment both exist however it comes at a price.. one typically overestimates others while at the same time underestimating our own selves and in turn our contributions to our lives and successes. What follows is overworking ourselves and in some cases Self Sabotaging to cover the feelings of inadequacy.

Bias refers to the systematic and often unconscious inclination or prejudice in favor of or against a particular person, group, or thing. It involves the distortion of judgment or decision-making processes, leading to unfair or unbalanced treatment of individuals or groups based on factors such as race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics.

In this thought-provoking episode,"Labelling Unpacked," we dive deep into the intricate world of labels and their influence on stereotypes, identities, and self-perception. 

Bhavna shares details of her study on labelling by examining the power of societal labels and how they can shape our perceptions of different groups, often reinforcing stereotypes that limit our understanding. 

Next, we explore the impact of personal labels on individual identity. How do the labels we assign ourselves or the labels others assign to us shape our self-concept and self-esteem? We'll share personal stories from individuals who have grappled with labels and how they've navigated the journey of self-discovery.

Our conversation also touches on the role of advocacy and empowerment through labelling. As we conclude this episode, we reflect on the challenges and opportunities that come with redefining labels and fostering a more inclusive and understanding society. Join us for a deep and enlightening exploration of how labels influence our perceptions and our sense of self.
