Yesterday, you
achieved.
Today, you
grow.
Tomorrow, you
lead.
You spent your 20’s on the launching pad of consulting or finance, building or managing a business, or excelling in top academia.
As an overachiever, your relentless drive and exceptional abilities helped you to build incredible options.
Initially, you could have gone on forever, unlocking better exits, preparing for your next chapter.
However, once you got a taste of real freedom—whether on your own time or thanks to a generous severance—, you became sure of one thing:
“I am meant for more than this—and it’s time I get started.”
And so, you embarked on the bold new chapter of fulfilling your purpose.
I worked with dozens of transitioning overachievers. If you are like them, two things are true for you:
First, you plan to take on responsibility. A lot.
You want to run for president, build companies, create employment, lead a tribe, or be the kind of parent you wish everyone could have.
Even if you don’t know your exact calling, you know you won’t let yourself off easily, because you excel at challenges.
Second, a part of you knows that you have what it takes to fulfil your ambitious plans—and another part of you doubts it.
This is one of the
Most high achievers are used to action bias: define the vision, plot the course, execute.
As I and all of my clients found, this approach doesn’t work in this chapter anymore.
Whatever your ambitious dream is, if you are truly ready to step into it…
The process is ripe with identity confusion, shame and guilt, existential anxiety, having to learn new ways of doing and being, struggling with things that used to be simple, and going much slower than anticipated.
On top of this, you have to face lots of unfinished business and emotions from the many years spent following a path laid out by people who weren’t brave enough (yet) to face their own.
If you are a recovering overachiever working on becoming the person who can fulfil your ambitious dreams, you have come to the right place.
