Ep 35 – How to Know If You’re An Insecure Overachiever

Do you excel at overachieving? What is behind your fear of insecure overachieving? Let’s find out in today’s conversation!

In this episode, ‘How to Know if You’re An Insecure Overachiever’ I want to help you become consciously aware of any behaviours that are causing you anxiety and burnout…  and teach you how to start breaking this pattern.

Highlights of the episode:

• I am sharing the signs and signals that you’re an ‘insecure overachiever’ and debunking this loaded label by sharing what I think is really behind it
• I am talking about being fierce ambitious, working insane hours, feeling as though you’re constantly in competition with others, the need to feel relevant and a number of other behavioural traits associated with ‘insecure overachievement’
• Why many organisations might actively seek ‘insecure overachievers’ out in their hiring process and what that means…
• And a whole lot more!

Episode Quote:

“If you’re feeling like you’re not enough… it’s about you not being certain of the value you’re adding and to compensate for those feelings of inadequacy you might just work harder and harder to try and prove your value. But that’s a toxic, unsustainable cycle to be in.”  (Rebecca Allen, Career Success Coach and host of Her Ambitious Career podcast)
