Ep 80 – High Achiever? Why Not Try Underachieving for a Change?

Are you a high-achiever? Do you often run yourself into the ground? Today I’m sharing how to get great results, but without the exhaustion…sound good?

A lot of women who I coach are high achievers: they want to deliver at a fast pace and consistently deliver to a very high standard – but at what cost?

I’ve seen, over the years, that a lot of these women are fearful that if they try a different approach, they won’t get the same high results.

But what if you could?

Today I’m sharing a simple yet profound trick with you… it is SO worth trying, even for a day, if you’re feeling burned out and overwhelmed and looking for an alternate way of ‘being’.

Here’s something interesting I said in this ep about high achieving! 🙂

“Overachievement is the desire to deliver at a high standard, consistently and across multiple aspects of life and work at the same time. But what if you could break that pattern of exhaustion and still deliver phenomenal results? How would things improve?”  (Rebecca Allen, Career Success Coach and host of Her Ambitious Career podcast)
