Her Ambitious Career
Ep 156 - Unmasking the Hidden Toll of Overachievement, with guest Sally McGrath
Are you an overachiever who doesn't know how to put the brakes on?
Sally and I are talking to the high achievers out there today who want to learn some strategies to challenge their current patterns.
Consistent overachievement inevitably learns to burnout - take new action today to get back in control of your workload - and your life.
We are talking about:
- Why do so many women have a relentless need to overachieve?
- How peer pressure, from other high achievers, can impact your need to compete
- What society 'expects' of women and putting pressure on yourself
- Setting expectations on ourselves, that we would never put on others
- Taking control back with the 3 priorities
- Having adult children at home can have a huge impact on you
- Quick fixes, like stepping out for a coffee, having a 'big sleep' and even going on holiday, don't shift the addiction to working at a level of 110% - bigger change is needed
- The benefits of overachieving include personal satisfaction, intellectual stimulation and building self worth
Something Sally said that I wanted to share here:
"If you choose to do less, you actually feel like you have more control. Not expecting yourself to manage another 5-10 boxes of responsibility that you've lumped on yourself is liberating."
