LET’S DO AN

EXERCISE

What does well-being mean to you?

Discuss with a partner

Page 9: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

WELL BEINGis the feeling you get when you are able to

satisfy the needs of the stage of psychological

development you are at and have no unmet

needs from previous stages.

THE SEVEN STAGES OFPSYCHOLOGIC L

DEVELOPMENT

Page 11: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

THE 4 MINDS AND 3 BRAINS

Most scientists have a tendency to think of our mind/brain as a single operating whole, but it is not. We

have four minds and three brains that control our reflexes, behaviours and decision-making. The four

minds and three brains in order of their appearance in our lives are:

Page 12: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

Neocortex Mind/Brain Rational Mind4

Limbic Mind/BrainEmotional Mind3

Body Mind Reptilian Mind/Brain2

Soul Mind1 Soul Mind

THE FOUR MINDS

Page 13: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

THE BODY MIND AND EGO MIND

The reptilian, limbic and neocortex brains together are known as the triune brain.

The reptilian mind/brain is known as the body-mind.

The emotional mind and rational mind are known as the ego-mind.

LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

All things being normal, the level of consciousness we operate from will correspond to the stage of psychological

LET’S DO AN EXERCISE1. What age group are you in—

Individuating, Self-actualizing, Integrating or Serving?

2. Form groups of 4, 5 or 6 people in same age group.

3. Discuss what well-being means for you in your age group?

Page 45: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

Having Defined Well-Being,We Must Now Define“WELL-BEING

AT WORK”

Page 46: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

B) become responsible and accountable for every aspect of your life; and

WELL-BEING AT THE INDIVIDUATING STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT (25-39

YEARS)

A) know yourself—identify your most important values and the behaviours that align with those values;

In order to find well-being at the individuating stage of psychological development you need to:

C) learn to manage your fears and develop your emotional intelligence skills.

Page 47: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

In addition, you will be looking for opportunities to explore your gifts and talents—find out what you are good at and like doing and what you are not so good

and do not like doing.   We don't want to be micro-managed, but we do want someone we can turn to for advice. Someone we know

wecan rely on who has our best interests at heart.

Without freedom, autonomy and challenges at this stage of development, you will not experience well-

being.

Page 48: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

B) find your purpose in life—the work that you love to do; and

WELL-BEING AT THE SELF-ACTUALIZING STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT (40-49 YEARS)

A) release any fears you may have about fully expressing who you really are;

In order to find well-being at the self-actualizing stage of psychological development you will need to:

C) express your creativity.

Page 49: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

In addition, you will be looking for opportunities to align your purpose with your work so you find meaning

in your life.

You will want a job that allows you to fully express who you are, sparks your creativity and unleashes your

passion.

If you cannot fully express who you are, you will not experience well-being.

Page 50: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

B) develop your empathy and social intelligence skills; and,

WELL-BEING AT THE INTEGRATING STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT (50-59 YEARS)

A) release any fears you have about forming unconditional loving relationships;

In order to find well-being at the integrating stage of psychological development you will need to:

C) actualize your purpose by connecting with other like-minded individuals to make a difference in the world.

Page 51: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

In addition, you will be looking for opportunities to collaborate

with other like-minded individuals on projects that allow you to actualize your purpose in

life. If you cannot connect with others to make a difference, you will not experience well-

being.

Page 52: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

B) develop your compassion skills; and,

WELL-BEING AT THE SERVING STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT (60 + YEARS)

A) release any fears you have about your self-worth;

In order to find well-being at the serving stage of psychological development you will need to:

C) let yourself be guided by your soul’s inspiration.

Page 53: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

In addition, you will be looking for opportunities to participate in acts of self-less service by alleviating suffering and/or caring for the well-being of future

generations, humanity and the planet.

You want to leave the world a better place than you found it.

If you cannot make a contribution, you will not experience well-being.

Page 54: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

WHAT PREVENTS US FROM FINDING WELL-BEING AT WORK

The personality of your boss (subconscious fear-based beliefs—lack of internal alignment).

3The culture of the organization—potentially limiting values.

21Your personality (subconscious fear-based beliefs—lack of internal alignment).

Page 55: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

YOUR LACK OF

INTERNAL ALIGNMENT

1

These are the issues you have with regard to your unmet survival (control), safety

(relationship) and security (self-esteem) needs.

You must learn to manage your subconscious and

conscious fears and develop your emotional intelligence

skills.

You will need feedback from your co-workers to master

your fears.

Page 56: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

THE CULTURE OF THE

ORGANIZ-ATION

2

If the culture of the organization does not align with your values and does not support you in meeting your needs you will not feel a sense of well-being—you will not feel engaged. (High

cultural entropy and low cultural well-being scores)

Cultural Transformation Tools: Cultural Values Assessment

Page 57: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

EXERCISE

Discuss in your group how the culture of your organization

affects your level of well-being at work..

Page 58: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

THE PERSONALITY OF YOUR

BOSS3

These are the issues your boss has with regard to his or her unmet survival (control),

safety (relationship) and security (self-esteem) needs.

He/she must learn to manage his/her fears and develop

his/her emotional intelligence skills.

He/she will need feedback from their subordinates and

peers to master his/her fears.

doing

Page 78: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

that employees encounter in their day-to-day

activities that prevent the organisation from operating at peak

performance and cause employees to experience stress and prevent them from getting their needs

HOW DOES CULTURAL ENTROPY ARISE?

Cultural entropy is a function of the personal entropy of the current leaders

of an organisation and institutional legacy of

past leaders as embedded in the structures, systems, policies and

procedures.

Page 83: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

FEAR-DRIVEN ENERGY Personal entropy is the amount of

that a person expresses in his or her day-to-day interactions with other people.

Page 84: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett

Personal entropy arises from subconscious fear-based beliefs

learned when we were young about meeting our survival, safety and security needs.

Page 85: The Ego Soul Dynamics of Well-Being at Work - Richard Barrett
