Playing small in life keeps life small and often unsatisfying, or even painful. Breaking out of the fear and resistance to being bigger is not always an easy task though.

Have you ever had a tendency to play small — to hesitate or hold back parts of yourself? If so, today’s Man Alive episode will be a great one for you.
Rather than hiding out or accepting what you get, what if you allowed yourself to dream bigger and put your desires out there? It can feel risky, but settling for unsatisfying dynamics with women, at work, and anywhere in your life, makes life dull and unfulfilling. You deserve more than that!
Today’s podcast conversation is with Charles Suh-Wah-Sing, a faculty member and certified coach at the Co-Active Training Institute. He is an executive coach who specializes in serving emerging BIPOC leaders and entrepreneurs. Charles has had his own journey with playing small and has supported many men in theirs. We discussed…
- The willingness to show up as oneself, even with concerns about disappointing others
- The fear of success
- Dissolving glass ceilings
- Transactional vs intentional relationships
- The challenges men of color face with prejudice and discrimination
Charles is a powerful and gentle teacher and guide. He draws on deep wisdom that men can benefit from. When you’re done with this one, check out this episode on how to be a more confident man in your career and relationship.
